Akon Building A “Wakanda-Akon City” In Senegal, To Be Completed In Ten Years

Rapper Akon is know for two things. Multiple wives and really good music. But now the entertainer is stepping foot into a whole new realm.

The Senegalese–American singer, Aliaune Damala Badara Thiam popularly known by his stage name Akon announced on the popular Nick Cannon’s Radio Show Power 106 Los Angeles, that he is building a Wakanda like city in Senegal.

Asked about the plan he earlier announced in June this year to build a “100% crypto-based city”, Akon said “It’s Akon City. It’s all renewable, the Akon-tainment solar city. A real physical place, it’s going to have a real airport.”

He continued to reveal that “It’s a 10-year building block so we’re doing it in stages. We started construction in March and stage two is going to be 2025”.

When pressed by Cannon on his financial status, Akon refused to be associated with the term “billionaire”.

“I always felt like if you have to label yourself a billionaire, I don’t think billionaires even label themselves billionaires. You know, you have no idea. But the crazy part about it though, when I hear stuff like that it makes me sad.”He contested.

The project came into play after the President of Senegal,” Mr. Macky Saal, gifted Akon with 2,000 acres of land.

The 46-year-old superstar has previously vowed to bring electricity to 600 million people in Africa under his charitable project Akon Lighting Africa

The singer revealed that his aim is to leave a legacy on the continent.
