AKON: Akon City Coming Soon to Africa

TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

  • I could use a couple more stamps for my passport. Plus, who knows how long this new city will last.
  • WatchKanyego and find a way to make this about him. "'Y'all know who was envisioning futuristic housing communities first, right?"
  • I'm just imagining this whole city as like an Akon-centric theme park, with propaganda posters of Akon all over, Akon's music playing over speakers, and a number of Akon-inspired shops, bars and restaurants.Ā 
  • Lots of rappers brag about putting on for their city, but how many many can say they started their own city?Ā 
  • Are people actually going to live in Akon's city -- or just visit?Ā 
  • Akon was born in Senegal before moving to Union City, New Jersey at seven years old.Ā 
  • He previously set up the solar power initiative Akon Lighting Africa.Ā

AKON: Akon City Coming Soon to Africa

Weā€™ve seen rappers get the key to the city, but Akon is about to take things to a whole new level.

Akon tweeted that he reached an agreement with the government of Senegal for a new region called Akon City. He posted a picture with some African government officials, with the caption ā€œLooking forward to hosting you there in the future.ā€

Heā€™s had the idea since at least 2018, and will apparently require all visitors to use his cryptocurrency, AKoin.Ā
