akon city project

Akon City was a planned community and city in the M'bour Department of Senegal by Senegalese-American singer and entrepreneur Akon. The project was first announced by Akon in 2018. Akon said in October 2022 that construction of the city's first phase would begin in 2023 and be completed in 2028. Akon said he was inspired by the movie Black Panther, and he refers to Akon City as a "real-life Wakanda" that uses modern technologies, including blockchain and cryptocurrency.
On July 4, 2025, the BBC reported the Akon City project had been abandoned but that Akon and local authorities were working on something "more realistic." The only part of Akon City that has been constructed or at least partially is the Akon City Welcome Center.
