Akon Gets A City Named After Him…. “Plans to turn it into A Tax-Fee Wakanda!”

Akon Gets A City Named After Him.... "Plans to turn it into A Tax-Fee Wakanda!"

Can we say, “Dreaming of Wakanda?”

After 7-years of back and forth with the country’s government, rapper Akon has finally signed off on his very own self-named “Akon City” in Senegal.

TMZ caught up with Akon at LAX Wednesday when he gave an update on “Akon City”.

Akon confirms what he announced last month — that he’s finalized an agreement for the city and secured the land … but adds he’s now working on a partnership with the government to implement tax-free policies and incentives he wants to attract business.

He says he’s dead serious about his city resembling Wakanda from “Black Panther” — with all the latest and most progressive technology — and believes it’s in the perfect geographical location to make it happen.

Akon also gave more facts about West Africa to paint a picture of what his new city is going to look like … and he says he’ll soon release a YouTube video to share his vision.
