It's become quite clear that Akon has signed a lot of previously unsuccessful artists and relaunched them.

Lady Gaga - He produced her and described her as 'hard working.' He appeared in her 'Just Dance' video. I get the impression Lady Gaga didn't want to let Colby sing one of her verses.

Shontelle - He produced her and he is featured in her second single.

Colby O'Donis - Not yet released any of his own songs over here, but he has been featured in songs that Akon has produced such as 'Just Dance' and 'Beautiful'. His single that will be released features Akon anyway. Wants to be close to daddy obviously.

Kardinal Offishall - ? He's got Akon featured on a few records and vice versa.

Please post if you can think of anymore.

Eminem.... oh wait.
