Akon, the internationally renowned R&B singer and producer, is facing a significant legal and financial crisis after his wife filed for divorce following 29 years of marriage.
The news has shocked fans globally, particularly after court documents revealed that the singer, known for hits like “Smack That” and “Locked Up,” allegedly only has $10,000 in his personal bank account.
Legal sources close to the case have stated that Tomeka Thiam is demanding €100 million as part of the divorce settlement, arguing that she played a key role in building his extensive business empire, which spans the music industry, real estate investments, and the Akon Lighting Africa initiative. The massive demand comes after Akon’s financial situation was scrutinized during the divorce proceedings.
