Most of you might now know this but Akon was the mastermind behind convincing Jimmy Iovine to  sign Lady Gaga to Interscope. Akon has vested interest in Lady Gaga and is getting paid!

He recently sat down with Vibe.com to discuss how unhappy he was about Christina Aguilera deciding to swagger jack Lady Gaga  in  her “Not Myself Tonight,” music video which debuted last month.

Akon tells Vibe.com

“I miss the old Christina Aguilera. I like the old one better than the new one. Honestly, Gaga and Christina could probably get together and do something that’s amazing. But that’s impossible if they are both trying to do the same exact thing musically … I just think [Aguilera] just needs to believe in herself more. I think sometimes she gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had not realizing that she was already successful before Gaga came out.”
