Akon was confident that Lady Gaga would become a superstar when he first discovered her.

Akon appeared on Capital XTRA Breakfast with Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie, he tells the glow is evident, "Oh, Gaga. For sure. She had the glow immediately. Like, it was one of them things."

He explained: "When you see a star, you just know; it's almost like it's a God-given, like, aura that just comes with them, you know?

"It's no different from when I went to Nigeria and saw WizKid. I was like, ‘This kid is a star. Why? I don't know, he's just a star. I'm telling you, this kid's a star.'

"You just know it. Even when stars stand next to each other, some have larger glows than others. But then there's talents that separate them. One may be more talented, but the other one just glow harder! There's a certain attraction that comes with certain artists that you just know, man, give them a few elements and a platform, they're out of here, you know? So, I kind of see that."
