R&B star Akon is convinced going on tour with Nelly, T-Pain and Pharrell Williams will be a breeze - because the hip-hop stars are all so humble.Nelly revealed his plans to join forces with his fellow rappers on a new record last month (Oct08).And Akon is eager to get everyone on stage - insisting the collaboration will be a hit with fans.He says, "If we decide to do a project, a tour will follow behind it. I think that's one of the main reasons of doing it".The Smack That hitmaker is quick to add the supergroup won't follow in the steps of hip-hop heavyweights Jay-Z and R. Kelly - whose Best of Both Worlds tour was sabotaged after an alleged feud between the pair.He tells Wenn, "I don't think we'll clash. The group I associate with is very humble with no egos. Egos broke that tour down because they clashed. You've got two people that dominate the same type of audience and it was a competition. It's hard to do a tour like that when you're in competition with the person you're on tour with. It's just about supporting each other".In seperate news the R&B singer Akon is desperate to break-up superstar couple Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles - he wants to team up with the pair separately in the music studio.The Smack That hitmaker admits the married couple are the last on his list of musicians he wants to work with - after teaming up with legends such as Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie.But he would insist on splitting the pair up to record because separate tracks would be an unexpected surprise for fans.
He tells Femalefirst, "I haven't worked with Jay-Z or Beyonce yet. Those are the only people I haven't worked with. I would definitely work with them separately. Together is too common - it's already been done, its almost expected".
