Key Points:
- Amirah Iman says she stays “happily STILL married” to Akon. She adds that their wedding took place in Senegal
- Tomeka Thiam files a U.S. divorce after a long union. Reports note a near 29-year marriage with one teen child
- Both women post calm notes on Instagram after wrong images spread. Each asks pages to stop using the wrong face
Akon’s second wife, Amirah-Iman Thiam, has set things straight. She says she stays married. She says she feels happy at home. She also says blogs mixed up the names and faces.
The noise rose after a new court step last week. Tomeka Thiam, Akon’s first wife, filed for divorce in the United States. Reports say she filed four days to their 29th wedding date. They also say she asked the court for support and care terms.
You can read our first note on that filing here. We broke down the court lines in this clear piece on Tomeka Thiam’s divorce move.
Amirah clears her status and wedding details
Amirah posted a black Story slide with firm words. “I am happily STILL married,” she wrote in bold text. She then shared one key point on the rite. “My wedding was in Senegal, not the United States,” she said. She added that the choice fits her faith and home life. “It’s been almost 10yrs together!” she wrote.
She also asked blogs to stop the wrong tags. “Please refrain from using my photos,” she wrote. “Those don’t represent my name or my circumstances.” She told pages to “focus on your own affairs.” She ended with, “I won’t speak on this ever again.”
Later on, she reposted a red-carpet shot with Akon. The slide tagged her full name, Amirah-Iman Thiam. It showed a warm pose at a recent awards night. Fans read the post as a calm show of support.
Tomeka reacts to the photo mix-up
Tomeka also shared a short Story the same day. She looked into the lens with a straight face. Text on the clip read, “Me scrolling & wondering why I got 10 different faces attached to my Name out Here.” She then added, “come on now… stop it!!!” with laugh emojis.
Why the story trended so fast this week
Some pages pulled old shots while the filing trended. Many used Amirah’s photos while they wrote on Tomeka. That move sparked loud talk across feeds. Both women then stepped in to fix the facts.
Meanwhile, wedding talk still fills pop news this month. Fans just watched Temi and Mr Eazi share church vows. See the soft clip in this post on Temi Otedola’s church vows video.
At the time of writing, Akon has not posted a note. He keeps his home life off feeds most days. Past chats show he backs a polygamy path. He also says he stands by his kids and their mums.
