This should come as no surprise to all the Akon fans who have seen him break musical and racial boundaries over and over again. He has collaborated with different artists or was featured on songs some critics never thought he could pull off because of his distinctive voice.

The likes of Mzbel have proven that a little bit of raunchiness can break grounds for a female artist a set the wheels of success in motion. If sex sells and sexiness is appealing, then Vida Darko, or simply Veeda, could very well be the next big thing to hit the Ghanaian music scene. She is gifted with beauty and sex appeal, and blessed with a myriad of talents. She is also a hip life/R&B singer/songwriter, fashion designer, choreographer, fashion model, film producer, script writer, and an actress.

Akon is at it again…helping yet another former (using the term loosely) A-lister come back with a vengeance. Michael Jackson trusted him with a remake of his song and, now, Whitney Houston is working on some tracks and a duet with him titled “Like I Never Left“.

They might also be working on a song for Michael Jackson’s comeback album according to his interview with MTV News where he stated that “Right now that’s in the air. I can’t talk about it.”
