Akon's 29-Year Marriage Ends in Divorce

American-Senegalese singer Akon's 29-year marriage to Tomeka Thiam has come to an end as she files for divorce, demanding €100m in compensation.

According to reports, the court found only $10k in Akon's account. The couple, who have been together since the early days of Akon's music career, were once considered one of the entertainment industry's most enduring unions.

However, insiders claim that the marriage had been strained for years due to emotional neglect and lack of transparency over Akon's finances. Tomeka had been contemplating separation for a while, especially after Akon's multiple relationships became public.

Years of alleged irreconcilable differences have led to the end of their marriage.
