Akon Explains Why He Passed Up On Signing Drake

Akon has signed all kinds of artists who have won the royal awards in his life time. We have musicians like T-Pain on one end of the spectrum and we have Lady Gaga on the other end. Akon could have signed Drake but passed up on the opportunity and he explains why:

“I think his confidence has grown a lot,”  You can see it on stage now. He’s fully-developed. Right now, I just feel like he’s the top at what he do.”

“I honestly did pass on him because at the time, he didn’t sound like what he sounded like today,” Akon says during an interview with Montreality. “The ‘Best I Ever Had,’ it wasn’t even close to what that sounded like. I think he was at a position where he was finding himself. And I kind of heard it in the music, but ultimately, as time goes, people develop and they get better and they become the best because of things like that.”
