American-Senegalese singer Akon is facing a divorce after his wife, Tomeka Thiam, reportedly filed to end their 29-year marriage.
According to reports, Tomeka is demanding €100 million as settlement, citing years of emotional neglect and lack of transparency about Akon’s finances.
The couple, who have been together since the early years of Akon’s career, were once seen as one of the most stable unions in the entertainment industry. However, sources say their marriage had been troubled for a long time, especially after Akon’s multiple relationships became public.
They share children together, though details about custody have not been disclosed.
Only $10,000 found in Akon’s account
In a surprising twist, the court handling the divorce allegedly discovered that Akon had just $10,000 in his personal account.
This revelation has sparked debates online, as many fans question how the global star known for his wealth and philanthropy could have such a low balance.
A source close to the case claimed that most of Akon’s money may be stored in other accounts, including his mother’s. “The court couldn’t trace the bulk of his assets directly to him,” the insider said, suggesting that the singer may be protecting his fortune ahead of the divorce.
