Senegalese-American singer and entrepreneur Akon has reportedly found himself in the spotlight after his wife, Tomeka Thiam, filed for divorce, seeking a staggering €100 million settlement.
According to circulating court reports, Tomeka claims she played a significant role in building Akon’s music and business empire. However, documents allegedly reveal that the artist only has $10,000 in his personal account, with most of his assets and investments registered under his mother’s name.
The story has drawn global attention, with fans comparing Akon’s move to that of Moroccan football star Achraf Hakimi, who famously safeguarded his wealth during his divorce proceedings by placing his assets in his mother’s name.
Social media users have jokingly declared that “Akon has graduated from the Hakimi Institute of Wisdom.”
Neither Akon nor his representatives have officially responded to the divorce reports as of press time.
