The R’n’B singer Akon has had an incredibly successful music career, with a number of smash hits and legions of fans.
Recently the singer launched two ambitious projects that are inextricably linked.
The first is a cryptocurrency called Akoin that Akon says will provide financial independence for Africans, although some people are dissatisfied after investing in the dream and having nothing to show for it.
The other project is a reported $6billion futuristically designed metropolis on the coast of Senegal called Akon City.
