Music star Akon is reportedly in a major financial and legal storm after his wife of 29 years, Tomeka Thiam, filed for divorce, demanding a €100 million settlement. Court documents, however, revealed that the award-winning singer and entrepreneur allegedly has only $10,000 in his personal bank account.
Thiam’s legal team argues that she deserves a substantial share of Akon’s fortune, claiming she played a crucial role in building his global business empire—from music production and real estate to his Akon Lighting Africa initiative.
The case took an unexpected turn when court investigators discovered that most of Akon’s assets are not in his name but reportedly registered under his mother’s ownership, raising suspicions that he might have moved funds to protect them from the divorce claims.

Despite earlier reports estimating Akon’s net worth at over $60 million, the court’s findings suggest his personal finances are in disarray. Legal experts say the situation could complicate the settlement, especially if it’s confirmed that the singer has limited control over his assets.
Social media has since erupted with debates, with some fans accusing Akon of hiding his wealth, while others believe he may be facing real liquidity problems.
Neither Akon nor his representatives have commented publicly, leaving followers waiting to see how one of music’s most shocking celebrity divorces unfolds.
