Besides putting his might behind Lady GaGa, singer/producer Akon has been very busy lately. He recently announced that he is set to launch his own fragrance, “Konvict” for men and women. According to sources, the fragrance line is a partnership with his recently formed Konvict Cosmetics, International LLC.

“We are excited and honored to launch Konvict with AKON which we project strong sales in this celebrity fragrance market,” said the Managing Director of Konvit Cosmetics Jack Aini.

You can purchase “Konvict” for men or women at website www.akonfragrances.com for $41.95. 10% of the profits from the fragrance will go to Akon’s Konfidence Foundation, a program for underprivileged African youth.

In addition to the fragrance, the singer is stepping into the Indian film market.

“India is my next focus area, I want to try different things, want to explore… want to enjoy my work. We have the same kind of entertainment, the only difference is of tradition and language.”

Akon will record a song for the soundtrack to the movie RA.One. According to sources, the singer will record the song in Hindi and it will be accompanying by a free featured video.
