Akon signs 14 year old ‘homeless’ Kenyan boy to Konvict Family (video)

This weekend turned out to be rather fortunate for one kid who has been living a life that no man would wish for his son. He might have just approached Akon and his entourage just for laughs at first, or maybe he was really up to it. Either way, he got his shot and he didn’t waste it.

This fourteen year old boy, Wilson, stopped Akon and his entourage on the way to the concert and decided that that was probably the right time to pour his soul out to Akon and seek for a chance in the Konvict Family Records. Crazy? Think again.

After telling Akon all about how his father mistreats him and sometimes forces him to sleep outside, how much he loves music and has no way of getting into a studio since he has no money, surprisingly, Akon decides to give him a chance. Lets him get into his car and heads over to the concert together.

“This is all too easy,” you are definitely thinking this right now. It would be that easy if he Akon had agreed to signing him right there and then, but no. Akon made it hard for him. He exerted pressure on this kid and placed him on the stage, infront of a live audience, for the first time, and told him to perform. That should have been his cue for taking off, but this kid took the mic and what came next was just amazing. You gotta see this for yourself in the video below.

After his short performance, Akon announces that Wilson is the newest member of the Konvict Family. Priceless moment right there. So now, Wilson gets to fly off in the sunset and live the American dream.

Could this be the next African musical success story just like Akon was?
