Akon speaks on what's delaying the construction of Akon City in Senegal
🗣️🗣️ "Actually, the plan to build Akon City in Senegal is still in my mind, but it’s the indigenous people in Senegal who are delaying the whole movement.
I already have plans for the money I will use to build Akon City, but the people living on the land keep asking me for money — and when I calculated everything, it’s more than $1.1 million. That money is too much.
This Akon City project is part of the country’s development, and I believe I shouldn’t even be paying that kind of money. I’ve already paid for the land, but it’s the natives in that area who are delaying the whole thing."
