Los Angeles, April 15 (Inditop.com) Singer Akon says Lady Gaga’s success has made singer Christina Aguilera insecure and that she has “stepped out of her shell to become something different”.

“Aguilera shouldn’t have anything to prove or anyone to compete with. I miss the old Christina Aguilera. She had a way about how she went about things,” accesshollywood.com quoted Akon as saying.

“But soon as Gaga came out, everything switched up. Aguilera stepped out of her own shell to become something different. I think sometimes she gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had, not realizing that she was already successful before Gaga came out.”

The two women have been compared since Gaga hogged the limelight in 2008. The singers sport similar looks — both have blonde hair and blunt bangs.
