Senegalese-American singer Akon is facing one of the most emotional moments of his life. His wife, Tomeka Thiam, has filed for divorce after nearly three decades of marriage. The filing happened on September 11, 2025, just days before their 29th wedding anniversary. This news has shocked fans and the entertainment world, making it one of the most talked-about celebrity breakups of the year.
Akon, whose real name is Aliaune Thiam, married Tomeka in 1996, long before he became a global star. Together, they have a 17-year-old daughter named Journey. Over the years, Akon has been open about practicing polygamy and has mentioned having nine children with several women. He has said this lifestyle reflects his cultural and spiritual beliefs.
Despite his honesty, the situation created tension. Tomeka cited irreconcilable differences in her court documents. The filing did not include a clear date of separation, showing that their relationship had been under strain for some time.
Custody, Support, and Legal Demands
According to court filings, Tomeka is asking for joint legal custody of their daughter but wants physical custody to remain with her. Akon would have visitation rights. She is also requesting spousal support for herself and asking the court to deny any support claims from Akon.
The couple’s finances are expected to play a big role in the case. Akon owns multiple businesses, real estate investments, and other projects, including his ambitious Akon City in Senegal. Dividing these assets could become complex.
Legal Complications and Polygamy Questions
Akon’s openly polygamous lifestyle may present challenges in a U.S. court. Polygamy is not legally recognized under American law. This means only his marriage to Tomeka counts as legal, even if Akon considers his other relationships spiritual marriages. The court will only evaluate the financial and custody matters related to Tomeka and their daughter.
Akon’s Past Legal Issues
This is not Akon’s first experience with courtrooms. In 2007, he faced charges after tossing a teenage fan into a crowd at a concert in New York. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and completed community service. He has also dealt with several business lawsuits over the years, including claims of unpaid contracts. These previous cases could influence how his finances are reviewed during the divorce.
What Happens Next in Court
The divorce process will move through several stages. Akon must respond to the filing, and the court could issue temporary orders about custody and support. Both sides will exchange financial documents to determine the value of their shared assets. If they cannot agree privately, the case could go to trial.
High-profile divorces like this often take months or even years to resolve. Lawyers expect both sides to negotiate behind closed doors to avoid further public exposure.
Akon has not yet commented publicly on the divorce. However, the news has spread quickly on social media. Many fans sympathize with Tomeka for standing firm after years of public attention. Others defend Akon, saying he has always been honest about his beliefs.
The filing’s timing—just before their 29th anniversary—has sparked speculation that it was a strategic legal move. Regardless of motives, the case raises questions about culture, faith, and modern relationships in America.
Akon’s divorce from Tomeka Thiam marks the end of an era in his personal life. It also opens a legal story filled with emotional and financial challenges. With millions of fans watching, every step of the court process will draw attention. Whether they settle privately or fight in court, this case will remain one of the most closely followed celebrity legal battles of 2025.
