Akon's Divorce Response: Joint Custody, No Spousal Support
Update: 2025-11-18
Description
Singer Akon, known as Aliaune Badara Thiam, has officially responded to his estranged wife Tomeka Thiams divorce filing. He seeks joint legal and physical custody of their seventeen-year-old daughter, Journey, and denies Tomeka any spousal support. This contrasts with Tomekas initial request for sole custody and spousal support. The couple married in 1996, and Tomeka filed for divorce just before their twenty-ninth wedding anniversary. Akon has previously expressed his belief in polygamy and has nine children. Amusician named Amirror claimed to be one of Akons four wives, maintaining separate households. Akon emphasizes his commitment to supporting his children and their mothers, even if it means not being present daily. This situation highlights the complexities of their family dynamics and cultural perspectives as the divorce proceedings continue.
