"I Wanna Love You" ("I Wanna Fuck You" for its explicit version) is a song written and recorded by Akon featuring Snoop Dogg. It was released on October 2006 as the second single from his second studio album, "Konvicted". It is also featured on Snoop Dogg's eighth album, "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment". 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 also reached a peak of #3 on the UK Singles Chart. The track originally had Akon as a featured artist and was performed by Plies, then an up-and-coming rapper from Fort Myers, Florida, but his verse was replaced by Snoop's and his name has been left out from the writers' credits. This song was #88 on "MTV Asia"s list of Top 100 Hits of 2007. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008.
