Akon "could retire" now he has worked with Michael Jackson.
The rapper has been working on the King of Pop's first new material in several years, which he says is a long-held ambition - but it has come much earlier than he expected.
He said: "That was a dream come true.
"You know how you come into a career and set your goals as to where you wanna start and where you wanna end? I had a wish list of all the collaborations I ever wanted to do. Mike was at the top. I was saying, 'Well, if ever I get to Mike, then that'll be the sign I can retire.'
"But I got to Mike 10 years earlier than I expected. So I decided not to make retirement goals anymore."
The 'Lonely' singer claims the offer to work with the 'Thriller' star was a surprise but he saw it as a sign he had finally cemented his place in the music industry.
He added to MTV: "I think at the end of the day, it was one of those situations that caught me off guard.
