After nearly thirty years together, Tomeka Thiam, wife of the singer Akon, has decided to end their marriage.
Court documents reveal that Tomeka, who wed the artist in September 1996, is now seeking to dissolve their union due to "irreconcilable differences".
According to TMZ, the couple have a 17-year-old child. Tomeka is requesting shared legal custody and primary physical custody of their child. Furthermore, she is seeking financial support from Akon, while simultaneously asking the court to prevent him from receiving any financial support from her.

While Akon has been rather discreet about the number of his marital relationships over the years, Tomeka's recent legal action clearly defines her marital status.
As of now, Akon has not made any public statements regarding the divorce.
