American singer and songwriter, Akon, has announced the signing of Nigerian indigenous rapper, Olamide, to Konvict Music Worldwide.

The ‘Sorry, Blame It On Me’ announced this during an interview on the Breakfast Club.

Akon said that he and Olamide have already begun working together.

WuzupNigeria reports that Olamide’s sign follows Akon’s statement that Nigerian music artistes don’t honour record deals.

According to him, what is done in Nigeria is just a gentleman’s agreement with no papers signed.

He also revealed that he once signed Wizkid and Davido, but due to the way Nigerian artiste honour deals, nothing much could be gotten out of their agreement.

The revelation by Akon is yet to be confirmed by Olamide who has his own record label named YBNL Records.
