AKON CUTS TIES WITH LADY GAGA

Popular Senegalese born American singer, Akon has in a recent interview revealed that his record label has cut ties with Lady Gaga because her career is on the decline and she’s not as popular as she used to be.

The songster, who initially signed Gaga to his Kon Live Distribution record label under Interscope in 2007, claims he ”cashed out” on the ‘Born This Way’ singer because he felt her career had hit a ”peak”.

In the interview with US DJ Sway on Sirius XM, he was asked if he was ‘still involved with Lady Gaga, to which he responded: ”Actually I cashed out. I got out while the gooding was hot. It’s like a business; you build it to sell it.

‘When I got it to the peak of where I felt it couldn’t go nowhere, and there was nowhere left to go but down, I cashed out.”He added: ”In other words I sold my share and got out before it was too late.”

During the earlier years Akon was involved in Gaga’s first album ‘The Fame’ and co-wrote her hit debut single ‘Just Dance.’

When asked about the success of her recent ‘ARTPOP’ album which many people say hasn’t lived up to the success of her previous records, Akon said: ”That’s why I got out.”
