“It’s all renewable,” confirms Akon, prompting Nick Cannon to confirm that no, this is not a Sims Game. “It’s going to have a real airport!” laughs Akon. He also confirms the city is being constructed under a ten-year building block. “We doing it in stages,” he details. “We started construction in March, and stage two is going to be 2025. It’s in Senegal, West Africa.” “Your own city?” says Cannon. “Man, that’s richer than the billionaires.”
Akon explains that the suffering he has seen throughout his travels was what ultimately inspired his decision to help better the world. “The thing I was most excited about was Akoin, my currency for Africa,” he explains.
