🧢 Akon signed Wizkid in 2011, not 2008. At that time(2011), Wiz was already big in Africa. He was already touring in the UK then, although he wasn’t pulling a lotta crowd over there. Wizkid’s first official single, “Holla at Your Boy”, was in 2010. Also, Afrobeats or what Akon calls “Afropop” already existed wayy before Wizkid. Heck, even 2face, DBanj, and PSquare were already selling out stadiums outside Nigeria wayy before Wizkid’s time. Akon here tryna sound like he had a hand in creating the sound. 😂 Boy, if you don’t stfu with that silly hairline! That said, Akon signing Wizkid and PSquare was a cool thing tho. I still remember how excited I was hearing Akon singing in Nigerian pidgin on that Wizkid song. Plus, that PSquare’s “Chop My Money” remix with Akon was a hiiiiiiit! Nigerians value Western/UK/US validation. So, having Akon, an African who had made it in the US, sign them was a big deal, even though the artistes were already huge then.
Pssh, wizkid could have been sign but shelved, sometimes labels groom artist before releasing or sometimes straight up see the talent but don’t kno what to do with them… afrobeat wasn’t even a thing like that bk then… Akon had numerous acts but never really help them blow, He had R.City 🇻🇮 and they are dope , if you check the facts, game was around g unit since 2003 and when did heard from him until 2005 so that’s an example right there
Akon has done a lot. Give him his credit. He missed up the dates with Wizkid's signing but that's okay half yall can't remember your folk's birthdays anyways!!
@@KentWav nothing about what I’m saying sounds upset, are you on the spectrum or something (autistic)? But that’s what I wanted to know, was it a hair piece or surgery etc.
This is impossible. Wizkid had no song in the year 2008. Wizkid became known locally in 2010 and by 2011 he released his first single and album. What is Akon talking about?
Was about to say that....dem no know say wiz na husler....wiz don d back up artist b4 2008.I remember wen M I was telling us den that wiz was going to b big. Back then only us wen like good polished american English bin d listen to MI rap b4 he start som afro ting along d way...nice one bro
Akon wanna be apart so much Lmaoo. Your a rapper / pop artist go and rap, don’t be tryna hostage people like you taught them their style lol. Your definitely not responsible for the artist he has become so just keep quiet, maybe you were affiliated at one small time but not much.
What??? Are u African?? Akon did sign Wizkid in 2008. I was in College around that time. When Akon signed Wiz it was such a huge news. But it was a 2yr deal. Wiz explained later on in an interview around 2014 that he's parted ways with Konvict Muzik amicably.
Wiz came on the scene 2010 but has been around since 2008, he even did the hook for MI Abaga’s “Fast money fast cars” 2009. So yes Akon might be telling the truth
Akon has been a part & is a part of MANY Artists Careers
Yo Kev love ur channel bro. There's nothing bootleg about you brother. It's a beautiful thing to see different races vibing..ND u vibe with the best.

Yinka you're right about that. 👍🏿
im sure you know more than Akon thanks for your knowledge lmao waste of time
It's crazy how many artists Akon has signed.
Wizkid release his first official single in 2010... Akon is obviously lying.
@@Tosindieko he was signed to konvict in 2010 so idk just do a quick google search
That's a big fat lie.
@@Tosindieko Akon is lying. Wizkid was unknown in 2008.

He says he signed wiz kid but he was never signed to his label. Literally can’t find a single source that backs him up
Cap Wizkid blew up in 2010 and was signed under Banky W EME Records
Wizkid popped in 2010 after being signed to eme in 09..he actually said after the world Cup in SA..maybe he's tryna say 2010 or 11
Twas 2011.
Akon already had deals with EME and square records and already introduced sarkodie
Ah ah
I thought wizkid was signed by banky w.
Akon u dey lie o
Bootleg kev is ignorant. The one dance song is actually a wizkid song. Wizkid wrote the entire record and gave it to drake.
They don't like us
why is akon so sentimental about this afrobeat stuff's or do he feel like he's not getting his credit I need to know
how is he sentimental ..he's just answering questions
maybe because he s african dummy
he just answering questions period
One dance beat is UK funky house
Its a mix of alot of sound.
Akon has done a lot. Give him his credit. He missed up the dates with Wizkid's signing but that's okay half yall can't remember your folk's birthdays anyways!!
Akon sign wiz 2008 ,when wiz get into the game 2010
Akon be capping ,you need to do interviews with Artist like 2face or dbanj or don jazzy
He actually signed P-square back in the days, but his Wizzy and Davido stories might be caps.
MAN ASK THE REAL QUESTIONS… WHAT IS THAT ON HIS HEAD!!!!!
Waves?
@@KentWav the hair itself Akon lost his hairline many many years ago…. So it’s either a hair piece or surgery is what I wanna know.
@@101elelky you must be one of Akon's lost hair follicles, upset about his new hair peice
@@KentWav nothing about what I’m saying sounds upset, are you on the spectrum or something (autistic)? But that’s what I wanted to know, was it a hair piece or surgery etc.
LMAOO
Bro Akon capping
2008 and he is still with Akon … 😅
Listen to the end before you start typing. They parted ways 2018..
Hes huge now though
2008 ? Akon is bullshitting. Wizkid was just bout to get signed to EME with no official single.
U know wiz been under the radar as Lil prinz then right
Wizkid bin had swag bin listening to him before afro beats blowed up
Akon keeps lying these days.
he's getting the years wrong but I remember a lot of it
🧢🧢🧢
Man Akon CAPPING lol... maybe he meant 2012... cuz Wizkid came on the scene in 2011
His not capping stop it...
You can sign an artist and work on development, etc
@@leoneagle8514 Wiz was noy known, Wiz was fucking woth Akon in 2012 thats when those rumors were circulating too
Maybe Wizzy sold his soul back in 2008. Fame used to happen overnight back in the days.
I think Akon caping

Akon🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lies

This man a professional liar. Wiz never was signed to you. Even the timelines don't make sense

Sir if you don’t know what you saying shit up
@@mikhelBrown Wizkid came on the scene in 2011... how the fuck Akon signed him in 2008 lol
@@mikhelBrown exactly I was in uni too when it happened. Non Africans speaking like they know what's up

They thought it was reggae music because it is reggae music.
Nope, Afrobeats is a different sound. But some African artists do sing Reggae.
Akon is lying
