,Hitmaker Akon has been dominating the Billboard charts and tearing up the airwaves for two decades.
He just celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Trouble , which launched him to global fame.
Now, he is taking over TikTok with a new hit, 'Akon's Beautiful Day." The uplifting anthem soared to #1 on TikTok's Top 50 with more than half a billion views and counting and debuted at #38 on Billboard's Pop Airplay--his 26th career entry and first in over a decade.
The star sat down with us in the LifeMinute Studios to talk all about the new track, his Akon The Superfan Tour - Asia, co-producing the documentary Headliners Only with Kevin Hart, looking back on working with Michael Jackson, helping launch Lady Gaga's career, and much more.
This is a LifeMinute with the one and only Akon.
