Rapper Akon has revealed plans for a futuristic $6 billion city in his Senegal homeland modelled on Black Panther's Wakanda.

The R&B star, who boasts two multi-platinum albums, told a news conference on Monday he had laid the first stone for the city in the Atlantic Ocean village of Mbodiene, around 60 miles south of the capital Dakar.

The solar-powered Akon City will offer hotels, a university, hospitals, business and leisure centres including a casino, as well as movie studios, all featuring futuristic designs by architect Hussein Bakri, with African sculptures for inspiration.

I have no problem with this at all. In fact, if these rich American blacks want to invest in Africa, more power to them.

A new home for slum lords, drug pushers, pimps and hos. That should clean out a lot of inner city thugs

Greasy Louie never has explained how the white devils managed to steal the superior technology of the Africans and enslave them, has he? Must’ve been an inside Uncle Tom job.

Of course, the first few million will need to be invested in marketing expenses to build the necessary momentum - things like flashy cars, clothes, jewelry, prostitutes and drugs.

Storage cells and LEDs. Give them a little credit.

What could go wrong with all that cash to spread around... /s

Reminds me of the indoor ski slope in UAE (Ski Dubai)... cost $10,000 a day to operate... One hour tickets sold for about $15 and only 6 people could be on it at a time.

The prince who came up with the idea thought the idea was so great it would spread around the world.
