According to CNN, Akon had previously said that the futuristic city would be built on a 2,000-acre plot of land gifted to him by the President of Senegal. The new city would trade exclusively in his own digital cash currency, Akoin.
Back in December, Akon told Nick Cannon during an interview on Power 106 Los Angeles, “It’s a 10-year building block so we’re doing it in stages. We started construction in March (2019) and stage two is going to be 2025.”
