R&B star Akon and his longtime wife Tomeka Thiam are reportedly heading for divorce, bringing an end to one of the music industry’s most enduring relationships.

The couple, who have been together since the early days of Akon’s career, were once seen as a symbol of stability in the entertainment world. However, insiders claim that their marriage had been strained for years, with Tomeka allegedly citing emotional neglect and lack of transparency over Akon’s finances.

While news of the divorce filing surprised many fans, sources close to the family say Tomeka had been considering separation for some time, particularly after Akon’s multiple relationships became public knowledge.

The pair share several children, though custody details have not been disclosed.

In a shocking twist, reports from the ongoing court proceedings allege that Akon had only $10,000 in his personal bank account, a revelation that has ignited widespread speculation and debate online.

Given the singer’s longstanding reputation for wealth and philanthropy—especially across Africa and the United States—the discovery has left many questioning the true state of his finances.

According to a source close to the case, much of Akon’s wealth may be strategically stored elsewhere, including accounts allegedly linked to his mother.

“The court couldn’t trace the bulk of his assets directly to him,” the insider claimed, fueling suspicions that the star could be shielding his fortune ahead of the divorce settlement.

Despite the rumors, Akon has not publicly responded, and his legal team has yet to issue an official statement clarifying the situation or confirming the validity of the claims.

The story has since gone viral on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where thousands of users have reacted with memes and divided opinions.

Some defended the singer, arguing that high-net-worth individuals often manage their finances in ways that make liquid cash appear limited, while others questioned the transparency of his dealings and the motives behind the alleged financial arrangements.

As of now, neither Akon nor Tomeka has made a public statement regarding the status of their marriage or the ongoing financial dispute, leaving fans and observers awaiting further developments.
