Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by Glimpsetv(op): 3:47am On Jan 20

Years ago, a young Jamaican boy sang “It’s a Beautiful Day” in his classroom at school — a performance so heartfelt that it went viral worldwide, touching millions of hearts.

Now grown, Rushawn Ewears is speaking out to clear the air about a false claim that has been circulating online — that superstar Akon gave him $1 million for the song.
In a heartfelt video, Rushawn said:

"I just want to make something clear, I didn’t receive any money from anyone except Jermaine Edwards who wrote 'Beautiful Day.' And Beautiful Day is not a demo. I didn’t receive any $1 million from Akon. False statements like this are putting my life in danger. Please stop making false information."


Fans around the world were shocked by the Akon $1 million claim — but Rushawn makes it clear: it’s not true, and he wants the world to know the facts.

Did Akon promise him the money? Why is he mentioning Akon in his SM post?
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by ogaontop(m): 10:50am On Jan 20
But Akon is more reputable than promising without actioning, if he indeed made the promise.
He can't be chasing clouts at this level or something is wrong somewhere or is the guy making false claims?
Akon should settle if he promised or the guy should keep quiet if he's capping b.s!!

Akon is such a magnanimous guy
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by Smartjeezy01(m): 10:54am On Jan 20
The boy have his reason. Is like living in Benin or edo state and someone make a video that you collected $1m, you don go be that.
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by Originalsly: 10:54am On Jan 20
Who made that claim is indeed putting his life in danger. He did well to put out this video and refute the claim.

You can't just help but to fall in love with the Jamaican accent.

Akon na babanla scammer.
That’s how he scammed investors with the “Akon City” project. That project can only be achieved in his wildest dreams.
I love the guy for his good music no doubt, but falsely saying he gave $1m to this young man is another scam.
The world shoukd take note of his antics
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by KillahPriest: 11:03am On Jan 20
Akon is a pathological liar shielded by the garb of superstardom and I have maintained that position for years.
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by Emmy2022tech: 11:05am On Jan 20
So, this is awesome. Nice one from akon
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by inoki247: 11:11am On Jan 20
The worst part of everything no be this boy even get that song....



I believe the rightful owner of that song should be the one cashing out nd not just one boy that made a cover...
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by DeltaBachelor(m): 11:25am On Jan 20
I remember this boy with a very melodic voice. Nice one
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by Yampotatocarrot(m): 11:34am On Jan 20
Before we start judging, is there any news saying Akon claimed to give or have given the boy $1million?

As for the boy, the video wasn't recent, if you life wanted to be in danger because of the claim, e go don enter danger since na... No be today the song been trend... People wey wan razzle you go don razzle you since that year
Re: Rushawn Ewears Denies Receiving $1 Million From Akon (Photos/Video) by TechBaron: 11:38am On Jan 20
Shey he would have posted the clip where Akon said he gave him $1m.

If Akon sues your ass now, you and your family member will start disturbing the globe with hashtags.

everyone knows he is a liar, even media people know

you obviously do not watch his interviews and the interviews of others who he claimed he helped

a good case study is Tpain, he claimed he helped tpain but Tpain came out to debunk it.

Exactly, he could have made his point without involving Akon.

Where did Akon claim to have given the boy $1m? Jermaine Edwards owned the original song and Akon must have settled him and he settled the boy in return.
