Akon

I was reading at a site I like to visit [over at SAFootballfans.co.za] that none other than Akon may or may not have been approached (it’s not official yet apparently).

Akon had this to say…

“I’ve been hired as musical director for the World Cup”, he revealed to reporters yesterday.

“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”, said Akon.

I think using an African superstar is a good move. I know he isn’t South African, but this is the first African Soccer Word Cup and should be celebrated by Africans.
