Akon has recalled how he was left "stunned" by Michael Jackson's behaviour.

The hip-hop artist told the Daily Star that Jackson accompanied him to the cinema wearing pyjamas and a head scarf.

Akon revealed: "I was like, 'Are you going out like that?' He was in his pyjamas and I was waiting to see if he was going to change. He grabs a scarf and puts it around his head.

"Then, he grabs the kids and puts a scarf around their heads. So I grab a scarf and put it around my head, and off we go."

Jackson features on the track 'Hold My Hand' on Akon's new album Acquitted.
