BREAKING: Akon’s Wife, Tomeka Thiam, Files for Divorce After 28 Years Together
Reported by Suzanne Daniel for Sele Media Africa
In a shocking development that has left fans stunned, Tomeka Thiam — the longtime wife of global music icon Akon — has officially filed for divorce after nearly 29 years of being together.
According to multiple U.S. celebrity news outlets including TMZ and Radar Online, Tomeka is seeking substantial compensation in the split, including spousal support and possibly ownership of shared property — a move that could significantly impact Akon’s finances if successful.
The couple, who share several children together, have had a complex and very private relationship over the years. Akon has previously acknowledged practicing polygamy in line with his beliefs and cultural background, though Tomeka was long considered his official wife.
What triggered the divorce after almost three decades? While neither party has made a public statement, speculation is rife that irreconcilable differences and longstanding personal strains may have finally boiled over.
Sources close to the family claim that Tomeka could walk away with not only the family mansion but also long-term financial support for herself and their daughter. However, insiders also suggest that most of Akon’s key assets are registered under his grandmother’s name in Senegal, which might complicate any financial settlement.
Moral lesson? As one social media user wrote: “Almost 30 years and still… nothing is guaranteed in love.”
