Speculation had been going around for a while now but just yesterday Saturday, December 17, 2011 Senegalese-American singer Akon revealed that he has signed Nigerian pop acts Wizkid, 2face, and twin duo Psquare to his Konvict Music label.

Akon revealed this to pressmen at Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha’s CLUB 10 where the unveiling of energy drink Citron took place. Akon is a brand ambassador for the drink.

The Konvict/KON Live boss was glad to share the news with his followers on Twitter, ‘In Nigeria with my brothers about to take over Africa with @2faceidibia and @wizkidayo big up to P-square’, @Akon tweeted.

It can be recalled that the singer had featured on a remix of Wizkid’s  ‘Don’t dull’ and was seen with 2face back in June in Atlanta, Georgia.

Banky also hinted at the big news as he tweeted ‘But!!!!! Last night was kinda epic. Bigups to the EMEazzyyy + Konvict Music runz. Shoutout to everyone that saw the evidence :-) ’; adding ‘Last night was KINDA heavy… :-) Thank u to everybody that believed in and supported what we’ve been tryna do… Na God dey do am… God bless U real good!!!’.

Details of the deals are still sketchy as the Grammy Award winning act didn’t go into details but made it known that the signing had been done earlier.
