American Singer Akon, known for songs like 'Lonely', 'Smack That' and 'Don't Matter', has signed a deal to build his own 'Akon City' in Africa's Senegal. He originally announced the plan for the city in 2018 saying that it would be built on a 2,000-acre land gifted by Senegal's President. The city would trade exclusively in his own cryptocurrency 'Akoin'.
