Global music star Akon is reportedly facing one of the most difficult chapters of his life — both emotionally and financially — after his longtime wife Tomeka Thiam filed for divorce, demanding a massive settlement of €100 million.

The couple, who have been together for nearly 30 years, are said to be heading toward a tense legal showdown that has shocked fans and drawn intense media attention.

Akon’s Finances Under Scrutiny Amid Divorce Battle

According to The Sun, Tomeka claims she played a pivotal role in Akon’s rise to global fame, contributing significantly to his music career and his various business ventures — from record labels and real estate projects to the well-known Akon Lighting Africa initiative.

However, court filings reportedly paint a far less glamorous picture of the artist’s financial situation. Despite being once estimated to have a net worth exceeding $60 million, reports suggest that Akon currently holds only around $10,000 in personal bank accounts.

Much of his wealth, sources claim, may be listed under his mother’s name, sparking widespread speculation that the singer could have shifted assets in an attempt to protect them during the divorce process.

Fans React and Legal Experts Weigh In

The revelation has ignited a social-media storm, with fans debating whether Akon is hiding his fortune or genuinely facing a financial crisis. Legal experts caution that if the majority of his wealth is not directly in his name, the divorce proceedings could become highly complex.

One attorney told media outlets that tracing hidden or transferred assets in such high-profile cases often “prolongs the settlement and increases legal pressure.”

So far, Akon and his representatives have remained silent regarding the case, refusing to comment publicly on the reports. Meanwhile, curiosity continues to grow over how the legal battle — and potentially one of the most expensive celebrity divorces in recent years — will unfold.

As the story develops, fans are left wondering how the hitmaker behind “Smack That” and “Lonely” will navigate this personal and financial crisis while trying to preserve both his empire and reputation.
