R&B singer Akon may have been born in the United States, but he wants to go back to his roots — which, to him, means constructing a city in his family’s ancestral home of Senegal, which he describes as a “real-life Wakanda.”
Ordinarily, I’d just think this was some idle talk by someone not in compos mentis. After all, one of Akon’s best-known songs was a collaboration with enthusiastic marijuana endorser Snoop Dogg (“I Wanna Love You”), so maybe Akon’s been hitting the wacky tobaccky a bit too often.
However, nothing short of megadoses of LSD could possibly have produced the delusions described by the singer in his promotional push on “Akon City,” in which he promised “every single African American would be a millionaire without even thinking twice” if they relocated to Africa and that America would be paralyzed “overnight” if its estimated 41.6 million black population up and left.
According to a report in AfroTech on Friday, the proposed city in the troubled West African nation of Senegal — which Akon says can be built for the low, low investment price of $6 billion — is intended “to be a safe space for Black Americans and others facing racial injustices.”

Make sure to stock up on grape soda and Champale before you go!
Not going to happen.
Paralyzed overnite?
Not quite. But a lot of prison guards would be laid off.

I can’t think of a single aspect of American life that wouldn’t instantly improve if blacks all left.
if they leave just make sure that they can’t come back
👏🏼🤣 He is an Epstein client! Better get out of the US and get that non-extradition law in place buh buh!
Why would black Americans move to one of the few parts of the world that still does slavery?
Answer: Returning to their roots.
Cameroon was offering immediate citizenship to any US Blacks that would immigrant there at one time.
In March of 2022, one of Akon’s former business partners sued him, noting that an investigation commissioned by the plaintiff and conducted by retired federal Special Agent Scot Thomasson found that the city, which was meant to run on blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, contained “many of the trademark characteristics (known as ‘red flags’) of fraudulent business ventures such as Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes,” according to the New York Post.
It's just a grift, spiced up to gull the rubes.
I wish him luck!
Better get us to pay to build it for you and your fellow entertainment industry racist nitwits, while we've still got the numbers and money to do it.
Let me be the first to say Goodbye, Africa is that way!
And the Democrat party disappears overnight.
How close is Senegal to Venice Italy? Just asking in case any of them want to take one of those Canal boat rides.....
Maybe the airlines can be mobilized to help. I’ll make them a deal...all flights will accommodate Akon’s wish for 2 weeks. No returns though.
ROTFLMAO! Another indication that those folks do way too many drugs. Take every one of them home with you to Africa. We’ve got Bruce Sprungsteen and Tater Swuft! The king and queen of Kindergartner rock.
What is most laughable is the persistent perception that they’re, in any way, oppressed in 2023. Their slave ancestors, if anything, paid a price to give them the privilege of being a citizen of the USA and living here in 2023 - even if that wasn’t the plan it is the reality. Nobody here understands REAL oppression.
