African American singer Akon’s wife, Tomeka Thiam, is reportedly seeking €100 million (about US$108 million) as part of their divorce settlement after 29 years of marriage.

Tomeka claims she deserves the money as compensation for the support she provided throughout Akon’s career, saying she played a significant role in helping him build his wealth and success.

However, the court handling the case has so far only found about US$10,000 in Akon’s accounts. Reports suggest that most of the artist’s wealth may be registered under his mother’s name.

The revelation has sparked debate on social media, with some people accusing Akon of deliberately transferring ownership of his assets to avoid paying the settlement, while others argue that the singer may indeed be facing financial difficulties.
