Looks like Akon’s personal life is hitting some serious low notes these days. The ‘Lonely’ singer is making headlines again, but this time it’s not for his music – he’s drawing a hard line in his divorce from wife Tomeka after nearly three decades of marriage. According to recent court filings, Akon is fighting back against his estranged wife’s request for spousal support by declaring she deserves absolutely ZERO dollars. Talk about putting up those financial walls!
The financial battle is getting real messy, y’all. Both artists are playing hardball when it comes to their bank accounts – Tomeka also requested that Akon get no support from her in her original divorce filing. But the drama doesn’t stop there! The custody battle is heating up over their 17-year-old child, with Akon pushing for joint physical custody while Tomeka seeks full physical custody. This is shaping up to be one of those celebrity divorces that could drag on for ages.
This legal drama comes hot on the heels of Akon’s recent arrest in Georgia for driving with a suspended license. The R&B star just can’t seem to catch a break lately. While we’re used to seeing Akon light up the stage with hits like ‘Smack That’ and ‘Don’t Matter,’ his personal life is currently reading like a dramatic ballad rather than an upbeat track.

“I’m so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely, I have nobody for my own” – lyrics that might be hitting a little too close to home for Akon right now.
For Memphis listeners who’ve been bumping Akon’s music since the early 2000s, this feels like watching a hometown hero go through some tough times. We’ve seen him collaborate with everyone from Eminem to Michael Jackson, and his signature voice has been the soundtrack to countless Memphis parties and club nights. It’s always tough when an artist we grew up with goes through personal struggles – especially when it plays out so publicly in the courts and media.
While we’re all hoping for some peaceful resolution to this messy situation, it’s clear that Akon’s legal battles are far from over. Between the spousal support fight, custody disagreements, and recent legal trouble, the singer might need to take his own advice and find ‘The One’ that can help him navigate these troubled waters. For now, we’ll keep spinning his classic hits on Q107.5 and hoping for better days ahead for the Konvict Music founder.
