Akon “Disagrees” With Will.I.Am Over Posthumous Michael Jackson Album

Anthony Jones – AHN Entertainment Reporter

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – Akon and Will.I.Am were both working with Michael Jackson before he passed on what was to be his latest studio album. Jackson’s first posthumous release “Michael” hits stores next month but Will.I.Am says the release is “disrespectful,” while Akon doesn’t agree.

Akon’s duet with the late Michael Jackson “Hold My Hand” is the lead single off his posthumous album “Michael.” Jackson left a handwritten note with the Estate that he wanted “Hold My Hand,” recorded back in 2007, to be released as the first single off his next project.

Jackson got his wish as “Hold My Hand” will lead off “Michael,” an album of ten leftover tracks including “Monster” with 50 Cent, “Another Day” with Lenny Kravitz, and the controversial “Breaking News,” which left fans puzzled that Michael’s vocals had been tampered with beyond recognition.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Will.I.Am says a Michael Jackson album without Jackson’s finishing touch shouldn’t be released. “Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are to say that what he contributed during his life wasn’t enough,” Will.I.Am said. “He just wasn’t any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it’s disrespectful. There’s no honoring.”

Akon says he “honestly disagrees.” “That’s probably Will’s opinion, Akon told TMZ in an interview. “Me personally I think it’s keep his legacy alive.”

“I don’t see anything disrespectful about it … These albums would have come out if he was alive or dead so I think this helps to keep his legacy alive,” he continued.

“Michael,” the first album of unreleased material from Michael Jackson following his death last year, hits stores on December 14th.
