Akon<\/a>‘s wife has filed for divorce, just days before their 29th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Akon’s wife has filed for divorce<\/p>\n

Tomeka Thaim submitted paperwork to end her marriage to the 52-year-old musician on 11 September, citing irreconcilable differences, though she listed their date of separation as “TBD (to be determined”.<\/p>\n

According to documents obtained by People magazine, Tomeka requested joint legal custody of their 17-year-old daughter Journey and applied for physical custody of the teenager, with the Lonely hitmaker to receive visitation rights.<\/p>\n

Tomeka is seeking spousal support but asked the court not to award any to Akon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Smack That hitmaker has previously said he believes in polygamy and revealed in 2022 that he has nine children.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking on The Zeze Mills Show, he said: \u201c[Polygamy is] part of our culture. Absolutely.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cFor me, it looks normal, because it\u2019s culture for us. We didn\u2019t go outside of our African culture when we got to the Western world. See, the flaw that the Western world made is they created all these rules without putting nature into account.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAkon insisted he was “there for” all of his kids” and views it as his job to raise children “to be responsible, to be understanding”, and to “protect their mother”.<\/p>\n

\nHe added: \u201cMy job ain’t to be doing all that extra stuff and these holidays and recitals. While I\u2019m taking care of my responsibility to make sure the family has a roof over their head and food, if I have the time to do that and show love, yes, I will do that.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCommunication allows me to be there every day. That\u2019s what my FaceTime phone is for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAkon believes marriage and dating are both “real relationships”.<\/p>\n

\nSinger Amirror previously claimed she is one of Akon’s four wives, and that they all live in different places, ncluding Atlanta, Los Angeles and Africa.<\/p>\n

\nShe told Rie Wit the Tea in 2023: \u201cWe all have different households, we all have different lifestyles. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have to see each other so we don\u2019t have to be cool with each other\u2026 Akon is the type of man [where] it\u2019s not manipulation, it\u2019s just, if you f*** with it [or] you don\u2019t. This is our culture\u2026 Every woman wants to be the only o and it\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
