AkonI made more money from ringtones than from my record label selling albums
I realized... the ringtone was only 15 seconds of the song but it was $4.99. ... I went straight for the ringtones and every song I made I made sure I did all ringtones for it. ... I end up being on the Guinness Book of World Records for most ringtones sold in the world and the good thing that I never gave him my digital rights. I was able to really make more money just from selling ringtones that I did in my label made from selling my albums.
Akon is officially recognized by Guinness World Records for this, and the high price of ringtones vs. singles in that era is a documented economic anomaly.

AkonI will run for President of the United States in 2024 or 2028
If I do run it's probably going to be either 2024 or 2028. [Big Cat points out 2025 isn't an election year]. ... 2028, there you hear it. I think that'd be cool.
As of mid-2024, Akon has not filed for the 2024 presidency. 2028 remains pending.
