R&B singer Akon says meeting pop king Michael Jackson was the “weirdest experience” for him and claimed he was eager to get back with Jackson.
The pair had teamed up on the track ‘Hold My Hand’ but the song was pulled from Akon’s new LP after it leaked online, the Contactmusic reported on Sunday.
However, Akon is keen to team up with pop legend once again, but the collaboration can’t come soon enough as meeting Jackson was the high point of his career.
“I thought I was going to be (starstruck) on my way there but as soon as we met it was like we knew each other for years. It was the weirdest experience because he knew everything about me, and I knew everything about him. So when we met each other, it was like we knew each other forever…
That was the epitome of my collaboration,” Akon told ‘Wenn’ in an interview.
“He only works at a certain time and keeps a lot of stuff hidden. He’ll launch it off a certain way and wants to surprise people,” the singer added.
