Akon’s wife Tomeka Thiam files for divorce after nearly 30 years of marriage


After almost three decades together, Akon’s wife, Tomeka Thiam, has decided to call it quits.


According to court filings, Tomeka says she married the singer back in September 1996 but is now pulling the plug on their marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

According TMZ, the couple share a 17-year-old child, and Tomeka is asking the court for joint legal custody while requesting physical custody. She is also seeking spousal support but at the same time asking the court to block Akon from receiving any spousal support himself.

Over the years, Akon has remained vague about how many “wives” he’s had, but Tomeka is officially making her position clear with this filing.


So far, Akon has not publicly reacted to the divorce news.

These days people now treat marriage like relationships where they can breakup once they are tired. Imagine being married for 30 years only to end it now?

The funny thing about this is that in most cases like this, the reason might not even be anything serious.

If she was capable of handling your life why didn't she file the divorce earlier when she came to know about her husband's infidelity?

Exactly, am really surprised about this, after thirty years, you finally decide that you can't deal with it?

Well, she might have had her string reason for staying still now. She might just have had it enough and can no longer stomach it
