Young Jeezy held his “Presidential Status” inaugeration ball last night in D.C. and all I can say is…Wow! Looks like an A-Town celebration!

Akon, Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy celebrate the life of the rich and famous in the new video for “I’m So Paid”. The song is the first single from Akon’s upcoming, “Freedom” cd, which drops November 25th. ?Honestly, I like the song and all jokes aside, I honestly feel that Akon’s response to the controversy surrounding the drop was heartfelt. Yes…we are in a recession and people are losing their jobs and homes everyday and No…it’s not his fault that he’s still rich as hell. ?Get over it. Dance to the song and move on.
Check out this behind the scenes video of Akon, Lil Wayne and Jeezy during the “So Paid” video shoot. I think the song is?braggadocios, especially when there are tons of people losing their jobs…but oh well. Akon says this is going to be one of his favorite videos cause he can “relate”. ?I can see that. ?Especially since?White women, Lamborghini’s and blood diamonds seem to be a recurring theme in the vid…?
