Akon Releases Fragrances

Akon has debuted two new smell: Konvict Femme and Konvict Homme. I usually wouldn’t care about this, but I have to say that I’m quite impressed with the bottle design. The handcuff shaped fragrances have definitely caught my attention.

Akon will be giving back 10% of the $42 fragrance to his Konfidence Foundation which is “dedicated to increasing public awareness of the conditions in Africa.”

Lady Gaga Planning Clothing Line

We all saw it coming.  

In case you don’t get enough latex and leotards at American Apparel, Lady Gaga is sparking rumors that she’s launching a clothing line.

It doesn’t look like she has any concrete plans, but Gaga told The Mirror, “I can’t wait to do my own line. It’s definitely something I want to do in the next year, as I do have my own style. I’m already talking to my boy Akon about it.”

Yes. Akon.

Been There….Done That……HATED IT……Still Do!

Been There....Done That......HATED IT......Still Do!
You all know that I, Z’maji, am not one to criticize -*crickets*- but I think urban wear needs a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart like the overdose scene in Pulp Fiction when Uma Thurman in that dollar store wig,  bleeding all over a beautiful, pristine white, combed cotton knit blouse……..wait, I’ve side tracked m’self……….oh yea,  Akon is one of the many offenders makin’ stinky poo all over urban wear!  His “clothing” line Konvict Apparel (because being a convict should be every young man’s life goal) is the same ol’ thing we’ve seen and didn’t like the 1st go round,  guess no one texted him and let him know we were trying to do better now.  It’s like every rappers agenda includes a string of #1 hits, baby mama drama,  illegal weapons charges and ‘haven’t I seen that trash before’ clothing lines.
Also, it always confuses me why established, influential periodicals such as PEOPLE scrape the bottom of life’s proverbial barrel for interviews and wisdom from those that wouldn’t know wisdom if it SQUATTED ON THEIR HEAD AND CUT A FAT ONE.  Enter Akon,  whom they asked various questions regarding his work with Michael Jackson and NKOTB.  Of course they neglected to ask him the most important question which is when he’ll stop “designing” his own “clothing line” and why he’s wasting the time of the Kathie Lee sweat shop children when he knows they have a quota to meet.  You know when they don’t fill their order for the day Kathie won’t give them there warm bowl of vomit-like gruel and sewer water beverage urine,  yawl know Kathie Lee don’t play these games!
While cleaning dead skin from under you nails,  read the interview:  Akon – PEOPLE
