Who was bigger in the late 2000s --- Akon or T-Pain?

[BK The Great]

[L&HH]

Akon is the only solo artist to hold the #1 and #2 spots concurrently on the billboard hot 100. He did it twice

[AFRAM GLORY]

Akon obviously, like brehs said he was big worldwide, T-Pain not so much

Akon if only because T-pain is signed to him. T-pain's success is Akon's success

Wow didn't know that. How big a business is Akon anyway? Didn't he also sign Lady Gaga and other artists? Does that mean he's been eating all this time off her?
