In this clip, Akon speaks about signing Lady Gaga and doing her two first albums, which are her biggest to date, and Jimmy Iovine buying out his stake. He explained that he took Lady Gaga's career as far as he believed he could, and Akon added that he didn't want to be selfish and hold her back despite her being the biggest artist in the world. He went on to say that the deal allowed him to invest, but Akon didn't hint at the amount he got. During the conversation, Akon also spoke about having the chance to sign Drake, who he said sounded like Eminem in the first demo he heard. Akon added that he didn't have the $1 million to sign Drake, but he added that he's worth every penny now.
