Akon : Michael Jackson Collaboration Dropped Due To Leaking

Akon has revealed that his Michael Jackson collaboration was dropped from his new album 'Freedom', because it was leaked online.
'Hold My Hand' was due to be included on the rapper's record, but found its way onto the internet last Summer. Now Akon explains his decision to axe the track from the final running order:
"Musically we were on the same level and we wanted it to be special," he tells the Daily Star. "We wanted it so that when people got my album, it was something that was never heard. But the leak stopped those plans."
But Akon did reveal they will work together one more: "We will be doing more things together in the future, though. He is the greatest artist ever."
