Part 12: Akon: Michael Jackson Accusations Started when He Refused to Sell Catalog
--------
In this clip, Akon details dropping his second album "Convicted," which features the song "Smack That" with Eminem. When asked how he linked up with Em, Akon explained that he went out to Detroit to look for Eminem despite not having a connection. He explained that his first stop was the strip club, where he started asking around about Em, and he later linked up with Obie Trice, who took Akon to the studio to meet Eminem. Once there, Eminem played a beat that Akon knew he wanted to get on, and he went in the booth to start freestyling harmonies. The next day, he came back and Eminem had finished the track, which you can hear more about above.
