The $6B futuristic 'Akon city' was set to open in 2026; however, only a single building was made.

Senegal granted singer Akon 136 acres to build the "smart city" back in 2020 to be a symbol for Africa's future.

Only a single building was built.

People living on the land were asked to move and promised they would receive money.

Akon has since been accused of "Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes" and that his "Wakanda" city was "likely a scam," according to his former business partner.

Now that the 'Wakanda' city is no more, the land will be used for a much smaller project, a $1.2B tourism development managed by Sapco.
