World-renowned R&B star Akon is in the spotlight with a divorce process that surprised everyone, ending his 29-year marriage. His wife, Tomeka Thiam, demanded a full 100 million Euros in compensation from Akon. However, a detail that emerged during the lawsuit stirred things up: Akon only had $10,000 in his account. This situation baffled both his fans and the world of entertainment. Moreover, the reality of the situation is much simpler than you think... 👇

Thiam, in defending his request, emphasizes his significant contribution to the formation of Akon's massive business empire, including his music career, real estate investments, and the Akon Lighting Africa project.
On the other hand, documents revealed during the lawsuit process showed that Akon's personal financial situation is quite complex. Despite his reported wealth being over $60 million, it turned out that most of his assets were registered in his mother's name. Some legal experts suggest this could be a deliberate move to reduce Akon's compensation burden; while others suggest that the artist might actually be facing a cash shortage.
Users are discussing how there could be so little cash in the account of an artist with worldwide fame. Family law experts, on the other hand, say that the fact that most of Akon's wealth is not registered in his own name could further complicate the divorce process. 'If the assets are not legally under his control, calculating compensation becomes quite difficult,' said one expert, drawing attention to the fact that the case could take a long time.
So far, neither Akon nor his representatives have made a public statement about the ongoing case. This situation has become a major curiosity for those who closely follow the case both in the music world and on social media.
