Akon is the next artist who’s moving into the country space. He shared his master plan to enter the genre in a very unique way. It involves reimagining all of his songs.
“I’m actually redoing my whole catalog in country,” Akon tells TMZ. “I’m not even joking.”
Akon said it’s been in the works for a while. “This has been an idea for years like forever,” he adds. “The project has been in motion for the last five years. But starting next month, y’all gonna start seeing all the releases.”
Akon’s move into country makes him the feature, not the lead artist. “They’re country artists featuring me,” he explains. “They’re the ones performing them.”
He did not give the names of any country artists he’s working with or what songs he’s doing.
