  Akon  has moved from conquering the charts to building what has been dubbed his very own 'Wakanda.'  Between setting up his own cryptocurrency AKoin and vowing to bring electricity to 600 million people in Africa, Akon has been quietly building his own 'futuristic' city in Senegal named after himself.  He announced the news last June that he was working on building a “100% crypto-based city” and building is now officially under way, as he announced on Nick Cannon’s radio show Power 106 Los Angeles that construction has started. On top of that, it’s officially been named Akon City. Proposed Akon City

   Senegalese  hip hop star, Akon, is definitely breaking new grounds on the continent of his birth.    Akon was with the president of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta  who was in the United States last week and we have heard the news that the songwriter will be visiting Kenya in September.     The singer whose intention is to provide many African homes with electricity made the Kenya announcement on his Instagram account, accompanied with a photo he took with Uhuru in US.    In the words of Akon:'Visiting President Kenyatta of Kenya. He has great visions for Kenya and we shall be there in September to discuss how to make those visions come to life.'

    These are not good times for Senegalese hip hop star,Akon.The singer's automobile might be taken away from him if he does not complete the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars payment on the white 2010 white luxury vehicle.        According to the singer,thirty seven payments has been made already but it is not enough to cover the lease for the car which is three hundred and sixty thousand dollars.Akon is reportedly worth eighty million dollars,huge part of his fortune comes from his music business deals and his numerous tours. Hopefully,our beloved Akon will pay up and be free from debt.We would love to see him cruise the ride,probably in a video.
