“He has great visions for Kenya and we shall be there in September to discuss how to make those visions come to life,” Akon said despite reports circulating in the American media that he is so broke he can’t keep payments on his Ferrari car going.

Akon was born in the West African country Senegal, at age seven he relocated to Union City, New Jersey, US where he is presently based. – NET.
