Friday, March 29, 2013– Remember at the end of last year when Akon visited Kenya and promised to sign some new upcoming artists in his recording label? Apparently he was just pulling a leg.
A 14 year old boy Young Wizz was among the potentials and he said he will nurture the talent of the singer - a pledge he never kept. Speaking about his disappointment, Wizz said that Akon never helped him at all.
Apparently he was asking him to go to a boarding school of which he could not afford; later on they tried to restrain him from speaking to the media. Fortunately for him he met up with philanthropic Matapeli singer Jaguar who is now helping him.
According to Wizz, Jaguar has been paying for his school fees and he is now signed with Ogopa DJs who he will be recording his tracks with.
Jaguar further added that the boy was very disappointed since he had high expectations in Akon.
