Key Points:
- Tomeka Thiam files for divorce four days to 29th year. She cites “irreconcilable differences” in the court file
- She asks joint legal care for Journey, who is seventeen. She seeks main home care and set visits for Akon
- She wants spousal funds from Akon, not the reverse. Akon, 52, has long backed polygamy and a big home
Tomeka Thiam has gone to court this week. She asked a judge to end her long union with Akon. The file went in on Thursday, 11 September. It came four days to what would be their 29th year.
She told the court the pair cannot fix key issues. She did not give a set date for the split. They share a teen child named Journey who is now seventeen. She wants joint say on care, with Journey based with her.
Divorce filing and what she asks the court
Thiam seeks joint legal care for Journey with clear visit time. She asks the judge to grant her main home care.
She also seeks spousal funds from Akon at this time. She asks the court to deny him any such funds. Her file lists “irreconcilable differences” as the sole, clear ground. These words show a split that both sides cannot mend.

What Akon has said on polygamy and parent role
Akon has long said polygamy fits his roots and life. In 2022, he told Zeze Mills that it felt normal. “For me, it looks normal, because it’s culture for us,” he said. “The flaw the West made was rules that ignore nature.”
He also spoke on how he runs his life and home. “My job is to raise my kids to be wise,” he said. He added he must guide them and guard each child’s mum. He said tech lets him reach them all each day.
The family size and past claims from Amirror
Akon said he has nine kids in that same period. He warned he might miss some school or holiday days. He stressed he still gives time, care, and firm support. He said he backs each mum and keeps close contact.
In 2023, artist Amirror said she was one of four wives. She said each wife lives in a home in key hubs. She named homes in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and parts of Africa. She called the plan “culture,” not some trick on the women.
