You may not have thought about Akon since his song ‘Lonely’ took over the charts a decade ago, but the musician 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 the building is now officially underway, 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.
