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).

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

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.
