R ‘n’ B musician Akon has landed an incredibly lucrative deal, as he has been asked to make music for the forthcoming 2010 football world cup. The ‘Birthmark’ hitmaker has been roped in to record a theme song for the football world cup event, which will take place in South Africa next year, and oversee performances throughout the tournament. Akon is thrilled about the offer and is working hard on his music. He revealed that he was honoured to get hired to direct the music for a big event like forthcoming football world cup and also told “I’ve been hired as musical director for the World Cup. I will be overseeing the World Cup anthem and music at the ceremonies and I’m off to South Africa this week for meetings. I love soccer, so it’s a great honour,” Contactmusic quoted Akon as saying.”

We all loves Akon Songs which always be popular among teens. The versatile musical dichotomy is always at the heart of each Akon album. It could be a metaphor for the man himself. On one hand there is an extrovert whose tireless devotion is entertaining crowds and fan interaction has caused both adorations and misunderstandings.

Another good Artist which I love to listen is Beyonce. Like an elite athlete, an artist is hard-wired to reach a goal and then, having achieved it, to raise the bar even higher, always pushing to perform at top capacity, crafting a personal best. Beyonce knows this. She’s blessed with a relentless spirit that fuels her. I always try to find Beyonce videos on internet as I love to watch it and it always gives me great feelings.

While most of us worry about the credit crunch and panic about where our next meal is coming from, many hip-hop stars are not feeling the bite on their bling. With many now owning their own record labels, luxury houses and apartments, night clubs, and some rather expensive jewelry, the multimillion dollar stars are set through this groveling recession.

So set, in fact that their spending habits are going through the roof. Take a look at these extravagant celeb spends and prepare to feel the tug on the purse strings even more. 

50 cent and more

50 cent is known as the priciest rapper on the planet and worth over £60 million.

The stars collection boasts of a Ferrari Enzo worth £1 million, as well as three other Ferraris’, two Jags, three Bentleys, six Lamborghinis and two Jets. 

At his 48,000-square-foot mansion, the star has his own lake, waterfall and in-house club, complete with 52-rooms, servants’ quarters and a boat house, all costing a staggering £2.5million.

Jay-Z liked it enough he put two rings on it

Multimillion dollar rapper, Jay Z, proves his babe Beyonce is more than enough by splashing most of his cash on the R&B star.

Beyonce’s engagement ring cost a whopping £3.5million, which she believes is too expensive to wear out so she had a cheaper version made to wear instead. 

Kanye believe it?

A shoe fetish is generally deemed as a female trait, but rapper Kanye boasts a collection of 450 pairs of designer shoes, with a resident ‘shoe keeper’ to specifically look after his shoes.

With a keen appetite for UK takeaways, the ‘Golddigger’ star ordered an Indian takeaway from a restaurant in Wales, to be delivered to his pad in New York, costing a mega £2,775.

P DIDDY

Sean Combs, as his real name goes, is worth a mega £25 million and owns two luxury homes costing a combined £22 million.

Pretty reasonable for a hip hop star, but his demands on tour is what gives him the diva bling factor. Travelling with a personal entourage of 30, P Diddy takes his own barber, the only man allowed to touch his hair, alongside a team to lay out all of his 80 black and white suits for him to choose every morning. On standby is a barman to mix his favourite cocktail and a guy to carry his gem encrusted iPod. Nice!

Akon

Akon doesn’t waste any time on measly one off diamonds, instead he just buys a whole mine instead. 

The ‘Right Now’ star bought a whole South African diamond mine all for himself in 2007.

Akon has no idea how old he is even though he has a birth certificate, Akon’s birth certificate suggests he was born in April, 1977, but the hip hop star refuses to believe he is 31. In 2006, the singer also revealed he’s 25, but looking at this photograph i think he is a little older than 25…

The hip hop/RnB star hitmaker tells us that he isn’t interested in checking his actual real age, saying all it would do would depress him as he doesn’t want to know he is getting older and doesn’t actually care. He said if he knows he real age he will start thinking about getting check-ups and life insurance and he doesn’t want that. 

Akon even insists he feels 21 right now. “In Africa… age is not important. They don’t care.” He adds, “I feel like I’m 21 right now, and I’ll be 21 for the next 10 years.” Akon – age is something we all face, get over it! It is only a number and its how old you feel not how old you are, and if you feel 21, then it doesn’t matter if you do find out your true age!
