Along with TalkShopLive, we’ve been bringing you the best gift ideas from your favorite artists for Billboard Live Shopping Week. On Thursday, Akon brought out his Superfan gear with autographed merch and special-edition pieces.

Akon:

Konvict Kulture is pretty much what we’re at now, I realized that Konvict Music was more than just music; it really became culturalized globally so we changed the name from Konvict Music to now Konvict Kulture.
