We Don't Care

The actual time for this song is 4:17, but it says 3:34 on the page and it won't let me editEspnlive3456 (talk) 03:27, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Nappy Boy artist Scrappy Boy helped produce this beat for the song "We Don't Care", which was originally called "Could You Be The Reason"

Video features Akon's real wife, one of them. Hah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NbScrappyBoy (talk • contribs) 06:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Small edit requests: past dates

{{editsemiprotected}}

In opening paragraph:

"It is set to be released on December 2, 2008."
Should now read: "It was released on December 2, 2008."

In "Recording" section:

"Production on the album began in late 2007 and ended in the late summer of this year."
Should now read: "Production on the album began in late 2007 and ended late summer 2008."

Thanks.

Singles confusion

'Be With You' IS NOT the 4th single. Wilber Pan's version is a single while 'We Don't Care' is the 4th single off Freedom. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.68.84.197 (talk) 23:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for Album Name Change

It doesn't mention anywhere in the source that the album was changed from acquitted "because of its negative connotation". Well in my opinion, it doesn't have a negative connotation, and I have not read this anywhere else, so unless anyone has any sources that do say this was the reason, I think I'm going to remove it. --WikiDonn (talk) 19:24, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lebanon

Freedom also reached Gold in the Lebanon SOURCE. Please include! --79.199.20.226 (talk) 19:35, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Album

The infobox has the next album's year as 2011. But it hasn't been released yet. So perhaps it should changed as TBA? 85.217.22.10 (talk) 11:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 5 September 2012

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In it's first paragraph, the article reads, "It was released as a download on December 1, 2008, and in stores December 2, 2008. Konvict and Kon Live Distribution labelhead Akon's Freedom was well received in its opening week and debuted at No. 7 and selling 1,10,900 copies in its first week." There's a mistake with the addition of another comma after the first "1" in the sales number. It sold "110,900", not "1,10,900". 192.231.40.4 (talk) 13:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
