Who remembers this Jersey Shore looking motherfukker Akon was trying to push back in the day?

I was JUST reading something about Akon and Lady Gaga the other week, how Gaga was having trouble finding a style when first getting signed to Akon's label on Interscope. Akon and RedOne gave her Just Dance and told her to write something for it. Akon originally featured on it, and when he showed Iovine he wanted to give it to p*ssy Cat Dolls. But Akon said nope this for Gaga. Then Universal wouldn't clear his verse, so he had this dude sub in. Royalties must be good to this day.

But yeah nothing special about him, easy to see why he didn't have a career apart from that and the song in OP. (Akon's pen anyways)

Lil derek? He doing okay?


Yeah, that’s him.

I haven’t heard anything from him for years, haven’t checked him out for ages.

He had some good flows, but I think he got taken over by other people in the scene, he could come off a bit corny to me tbh

Hope he’s okay, he seemed a nice enough guy, he probably is, he seemed quite sensible, Even back then.

Akon deserves this.

He had Lady Gaga and a thing with Justin Bieber via Usher.

Lady Gaga is now an undeserved Oscar winner and "music" superstar. Akon considering going back to kickboxing after this African City gimmick of his fails.

Dre posing with Jimmy Iovine in all Jimmy's invents but wont show up to any NWA honors or his black peoples offerings. Jimmy opens a toilet Dre going to show up ready for pictures. Akon is no different in the grand scheme of this sh1t.
