Since the version with Snoop Dogg already circulated unofficially in the mixtape scene, Akon replaced the single and album edit since Snoop Dogg was already a well-received name, as opposed to that of an up-and-coming, controversial artist. Akon wished to continue to promote his song, but remained worried that the recent incident involving Plies would reflect poorly on his label. Shortly after, Plies was released after paying $50,000 bail. In response, Plies' entourage started to fire at the crowd, resulting in the injury of five people with non-life-threatening wounds. Plies was performing a concert when he was informed that his show would be cut 15 minutes short in order to give time to Lil' Boosie to perform right after. Plies was arrested on July 2, 2006, for illegal gun possession while two of his people were charged with attempted murder after a shooting broke out at 238 West Nightclub in Gainesville, Florida. However, despite the self-censorship, a Parental Advisory label was still printed on the cover.įlorida rapper Plies was the original performer on this song, but Akon replaced his verses with those of Snoop Dogg's for commercial reasons. "Pussy" and "nigga" are played backwards, and "dick" and "titties" are blanked out. In the edited version of the song, the word "fuck" is replaced with "love", and a line in the chorus ("I see you winding and grinding, up on that pole") is rewritten as "up on the floor". The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008. This song was #88 on MTV Asia 's list of Top 100 Hits of 2007. The track originally had Akon as a featured artist and was performed by rapper Plies from Fort Myers, Florida, but his verse was replaced by Snoop's and his name has been left out from the writers' credits. It also reached a peak of #3 on the UK Singles Chart. This song was Akon's first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also Snoop's second #1 on the same chart. It is also featured on Snoop Dogg's eighth album, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment.
It was released in October 2006 as the second single from his second studio album, Konvicted. "I Wanna Love You" (originally titled " I Wanna Fuck You") is a song written and recorded by singer Akon featuring Snoop Dogg.
