Akon, who signed Lady GaGa to his KonLive imprint (along with her being signed by Streamline and Cherry Tree) at Interscope Records, is thanking his lucky stars that he did – or at least his bank account is!! Here’s what Akon had to say:

“She’s pretty much retired me. She was definitely a blessing. She came at the right moment. I’m glad I believed in her, boy. That goes to show you, if you believe in something strong enough, it will pay off. I was like ‘Yo, I want to sign that right there. She needs to be under my umbrella. Jimmy was like ‘Yeah, whatever you want. Take her. Let’s get it done.’ And she just blossomed into a super megastar, man.”

The Lady will also reportedly be featured on his next album out later this year.
