Akon: 'I Could Retire Now I've Worked With Michael Jackson'

But he won't...

Share

US rapper Akon says he has no plans to retire – despite achieving his lifelong ambition of working with Michael Jackson.

Akon recently collaborated with Jackson on a track entitled 'Hold My Hand', which will feature on the rapper's next studio album, 'Acquitted'.

Speaking to MTV, the rapper said working with Jackson was “a dream come true” and proof that he had “made it.”

“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',” he said.

“But I got to Mike 10 years earlier than I expected. So I decided not to make retirement goals anymore.”

Akon also confirmed that Jackson will feature in the video for the song, which leaked online earlier this month.
