Award-winning American-Senegalese singer Akon, born Aliaune Damala Bouga Time, has shocked fans worldwide after news broke that his longtime wife, Tomeka Thiam, has officially filed for divorce.
The couple has been married for 28 years and share a 17-year-old daughter, Journey Thiam.
Reports Behind the Split
According to multiple reports, Tomeka decided to end the marriage after years of enduring Akon’s infidelity and polygamous lifestyle.
Akon has publicly identified as a polygamist in several interviews, admitting to having multiple partners across Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Africa.
The music star is said to have nine children with different women.
Tomeka’s Demands and Legal Battle
In September 2025, Tomeka Thiam filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and her husband’s “constant cheating behavior.”
She is reportedly seeking child custody of their minor daughter and €100 million in spousal support, claiming she played a crucial role in building Akon’s empire from the ground up nearly three decades ago.
Akon’s Financial Situation Raises Eyebrows
While Tomeka’s demands are high, reports suggest Akon’s total net worth is estimated between $50–60 million, including his music catalog, business ventures, and luxury assets.
However, investigators were shocked when they allegedly found only $10,000 in Akon’s personal bank account — with most of his assets reportedly transferred to his mother, Kine Gueye Thiam.
This revelation suggests the singer might not legally “own” much in his name.
Fans Recall the Hakimi Move
Social media users have quickly compared Akon’s situation to that of PSG star Achraf Hakimi, whose wife Hiba Abouk discovered during their 2023 divorce that most of his fortune was registered under his mother’s name.
Fans online are already calling this “the Hakimi 2.0 move.”
Conclusion
As the divorce proceedings continue, fans are waiting to see whether Tomeka will win her €100 million demand — or if Akon’s “Hakimi-style” financial setup will keep his fortune safe.
