Gwen Stefani

A Konvict and the self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game" are set to join Gwen Stefani on her upcoming North American tour.

The No Doubt singer said today that "Smack That" crooner Akon and print-sized British rapper Lady Sovereign will serve as opening acts for her 40-date trek.

"I'm excited to have this opportunity to tour with Akon and Lady Sovereign, two original artists that I have so much respect for," Stefani said in a statement. "I can't wait to get out there. This show is going to be spectacular!"

Stefani is touring in support of her latest album, The Sweet Escape, while Akon's Konvicted has been riding smash singles "Smack That" featuring Eminem and "I Wanna Love You" featuring Snoop Dogg. Sov, who was confronted by a jelly donut at a recent concert in San Francisco, released her debut album, Public Warning, last October.
