 In an interview this morning with Billboard, Akon tells the magazine, that MJ’s health was A-OK.

What was your first thought when you heard the news yesterday?
I couldn’t believe it. Even now, I’m completely confused, because Michael is just one of the healthiest people that I know.  He was pressuring me to stay healthy, like, “Akon eat right. What are you doing out there on the road?  Are you eating?  Are you exercising?  Are you drinking a lot of water?” He felt like nothing could be accomplished in life if you’re not healthy.
