Akon has reached his ultimate goal in collaborating with Michael Jackson, although he has no desire to retire just yet.
After the pair collaborated on new track 'Hold My Hand', which will appear on Akon's next album 'Acquitted', he told MTV it was a dream come true working with his idol.
"I had a wish list of all the collaborations I ever wanted to do. Mike was at the top. I was saying, 'Well, if ever I get to Mike, then that'll be the sign I can retire'."
"But I got to Mike 10 years earlier than I expected," says Akon, "so I decided not to make retirement goals anymore."
As well as working together on the song itself, Jackson is due to appear in the video for the single.
