The musician, who signed GaGa to his Kon Live Distribution label last year, explained that her success is a result of hard work.
"She's definitely paid her dues," he told MTV News. "She's been through all kinds of strings and ropes. She's jumped through all kinds of hoops. It was just a matter of time for her.
"You can't stop true talent. And you can't stop the truth. If that's what it is, that's what it is. At the end of the day, she's one of those rare finds. A diamond in the rough that you just have to polish out and let shine, and that's exactly what she's doing."
Akon continued to praise the singer, saying: "It's GaGa all day. GaGa, at the end of the day, is the truth. I love her.
"Right now my heart is with GaGa."
