Akon Speaks About Collaboration with Michael Jackson

For a while, I have been hearing that Michel Jackson was working with Akon on Michael's comeback album. Apparently, the two worked on a track for Akon's new album Freedom, which was released earlier this week. The track was reportedly dropped from the album's tracklisting due to being leaked over the internet and Akon is not happy about it either. He recently stated:

"Musically we were on the same level and we wanted it to be special. "We wanted it so that when people got my album, it was something that was never heard. But the leak stopped those plans."

"We will be doing more things together in the future, though." Emphasizing that Michael "is the greatest artist ever," he said, "So long as the focus is on him, people are going to ask him about the song he did with me, so then my name pops up in his interview. It works both ways."

That would've been a good opportunity for Akon to have Michael Jackson on his album. I honestly do not think Freedom will do as well as his other albums. I guess we will hear the official results soon, after the numbers are tallied for debut week.
