Akon’s Divorce Shocker: €100 Million Demand Amid $10,000 Account Balance

ATLANTA, GA — Internationally acclaimed R&B singer Akon faces a daunting legal battle after his wife, Tomeka Thiam, filed for divorce following 29 years of marriage. The filing, recognized on October 12, 2025, claims that Tomeka is seeking a staggering €100 million as part of the separation settlement.

Documents from court proceedings revealed that Akon reportedly only holds $10,000 in his personal bank account. Legal sources close to the case suggested that Tomeka Thiam argues her significant contributions helped build Akon’s extensive empire, which includes ventures in music, real estate, and the Akon Lighting Africa project.

The case took a surprising turn when the court uncovered the state of Akon’s finances. Despite being a global superstar with an estimated net worth exceeding $60 million, the majority of his wealth appears to be allocated to his mother’s account. This has prompted speculation that Akon may have strategically moved his assets to shield them from potential divorce claims.

“If the assets are not under his legal control, the divorce settlement could be quite complicated,” said a divorce lawyer familiar with family law cases. Fans have been taken aback, questioning how a prominent artist like Akon could have so little liquid cash.

Akon and his representatives have not publicly commented on the divorce or the financial revelations. As the legal proceedings continue, the public eagerly awaits updates on this high-profile split.
