Akon says his plan to bring a futuristic city to his childhood country of Senegal is getting closer to coming to fruition.
Akon confirms what he announced last month -- he's finalized an agreement for the city and secured the land ... but adds he's now working on a partnership with the government to implement tax-free policies and incentives he wants to attract business.
He says he's dead serious about his city resembling Wakanda from"Black Panther" -- with all the latest and most progressive technology -- and believes it's in the perfect geographical location to make it happen. Akon drops some more facts about West Africa to paint a picture of what Akon City's going to look like ... and says he'll drop a YouTube video soon to share his vision.
