R&B star Akon is considering retiring from the music scene after he had fulfilled one of his lifelong dreams of working with his childhood idol, Michael Jackson.
Akon was approached by Jackson to produce the latter’s forthcoming comeback project to be released under Konvict Music, the rapper’s record label.
To return the gesture, Jackson will be lending his vocals in Akon’s new track, Hold My Hand, to be included on the R&B star’s upcoming Acquitted album.
The R&B singer declares that working with the pop legend was his career’s greatest moment.
He tells MTV.com, “That was a dream come true. I had a wish list of all the collaborations I ever wanted to do. Mike was at the top. I was saying, ‘Well, if ever I get to Mike, then that’ll be the sign I can retire.’
“But I got to Mike 10 years earlier than I expected. So I decided not to make retirement goals anymore.”
