Akon Says He Wants To Collaborate With Britney Spears

[Headed Peckerhead]

Akon discussed a Britney Spears collaboration and sounded off on the type of track he would like them to do together in an EXCLUSIVE interview with HollywoodLife.  Akon sent shockwaves through the music industry when he dropped his recent track “I Need You,” which included Britney Spears‘ iconic vocals.

HollywoodLife asked Akon — who is currently working on a new album “Akonic” — his thoughts about doing his own duet with Britney, what he thought about her career, as well as on her personal struggles. “I would love to collaborate with Britney on an Afrobeats track,” Akon told us. “I like her music. She is an amazing performer and I really like that about her too.”

“Anything is possible and I think that Britney’s comeback is very well-needed,” added Akon, who just dropped “Konvict Kultur Presents Teemanay,” 

 Akon told us that he was aware of Britney’s recent struggles that centered around the 13-year conservatorship that she was placed into by her father Jamie Spears, 70. Being a successful recording artist for over 20 years himself, Akon also offered some advice that he has for the “Toxic” singer. 

“My advice to her would be to stick with it and never give up,” Akon told us. He also believes that Britney’s hardships are making her stronger and said, “Everything that she’s going through is just preparing her for a better tomorrow.” Prior to “Hold Me Closer,” Britney has not released a new song, or album, since 2016. So, what type of sound would Akon like to hear for her first album in over 6 years? “I think it should sound sincere and represent her recent struggles. I think her story is more than worth listening to,” Akon told us.

People love Akon. I caught his show at the house of blues in Chicago a couple months ago. My tix were gifted to me but tix were sold out and were selling for over $200. I think people would be here for it

Akon's song with Britney is really good... The different sounds, instruments, etc. Different. Really good i think

[CHAOTIC STYLE.]

Maybe in 2005, but thank you for your well intended thoughts. 

[NewDisplayName]

He’s YouTube streams are better then Brit’s btw.. 

About  collabs - no more! 
I want only Brit’s vocals even back vocals should be hers 

 

[Louis-j]

He can help her on making songs but I don't want his vocals on the songs. 

[Jay Harrison]

Britney has been stuck in feature world since 2016 which is mind boggling to think about and to think we may never hear her individual sound again is unfortunate but it is what it is given the circumstances. Go live your best life B 

[blackingouthenegativity]

I would have been for this in 2008/09, but not anymore

She use to be known for rarely collaborating with anyone up until 2011. The constant features since the Glory era have become too much

Actually since 2015 with pretty girls, but we knew the machine didn’t believe in her as a solo artist anymore after FF
