It’s official, Akon has his own city in Senegal.Known as “Akon City,” the rapper and entrepreneur tweeted that he had finalized the agreement for the new city.”Looking forward to hosting you there in the future,” his tweet read.

Akon, who is Senegalese born , originally announced plans for the futuristic “Crypto city” in 2018 saying that the city would be built on a 2,000-acre land given to him by the President of Senegal, Macky Sall.

The new city would also trade exclusively in his own digital cash currency called AKoin! The city would be a five-minute drive from the West African state’s new international airport.

Akon is working together with co founders , Karas and Lynn Liss,to help Africans level up with other global powers on the crypto currency playground.

This superstar had an unpleasant experience in regards to changing his local currency to Euros, on one of his visits to a European country, that was when it hit him,and Akoin Crypto currrency was born!

‘I really want to make the biggest impact in Africa’

Akon was born in Senegal before moving to Union City, New Jersey, at 7, according to his website. Known for songs like “Locked Up,” “Lonely” and “Oh Africa,” the Grammy-nominated rapper is more recognized as an entrepreneur than a musician these days.

He is involved in Charity Humanitarian activities . Always trying to buld or give to those who dont have. Plus he is really giving back by re investing in Africa.

His most recent venture is Akon Lighting Africa which is providing solar power to African countries.”I really want to make the biggest impact in Africa for sure,” Akon said during a 2013 interview with CNN. “If I could have my way, Africa would be the United States of Africa.”

This makes me wanna cry. Guess its the dream of every African , to have a place they are proud to call home. Good hospitals , schools, Hotels etc.

well good job Akon , hope others follow suit, together we can reveal Africa`s greatness and make it even better!
