According to Bullet, manager of the dancehall songstress, talks were far advanced with Akon for them to seal the massive deal before she got involved in the motor accident that took her life.

Akon, the Senegalese born American singer, who has been heavily involved in the African music market has already signed P-Square, Tuface, and Wizkid to his label.
