We’ve all heard of Wakanda - the beautiful city, the heart of Africa from the Black Panther comics and film. We were all mesmerized by its strong culture and unique design, however, as impressive as it was, Wakanda remained a fictional creation - little more than another genius thought from the mind of Stan Lee.
But now, thanks to one rich, revolutionary rapper, Wakanda is being brought to life. With a multi-billion-dollar budget, Akon’s new so-called Solar City will drive the African economy, amaze Marvel fans, and pay tribute to Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman, all at once.
Before too long, we’ll all be screaming "Wakanda forever!". Would you sign up to live in a brand-new city, created by a celebrity?

I met Akon randomly in Hollywood once. He actually stopped to have a short conversation with me. Very genuine dude!
Hahaha insane
messi El leo and then you woke up
STOP THE CAP

same, we had a beans for breakfast
Mr. Lonely went away and built his own city.
Hhhhhhh
Soo lonely
Hahaha
He built the city because he was lonely
Something you can't do
Now I’m very glad to see rich African celebrities are helping to develop Africa and its people.
Soooooo
Ye, even Sadio Mane.
Lol this is a resort for the wealthy. It's not meant for the common person. Look at the acreage size. That's not a city
I'm also guessing you think Dubai is for poor people too!
This guy is staying lowkey, but he is making huge progress!
Q: What is it that even the most careful person overlooks?
A: Her nose!
Im your 100th like
As he should. Stay quite, make moves
Low key? He just did a song with 6ix9ine

"Go back to Africa" will have a whole new meaning 😂
Great bro🤣🤣

Akon is backed by China, so the fund is unlimited, he’ll make it happen
I'd love to go back to Africa.

Living my life with a self-built solar system in Nigeria still blown away by this man's dream. He understands what freedom means.
Self-built solar system.
Nice!
I need to get some solar energy installed.
How did you build
To be honest he started this project way before the movie BLACK PANTHER was released.
Pple didn't understand at first, but when the movie dropped, that was when he started referring to Wakanda as an example.
Am not even a Senegalese but I have been following his project for quit a long time now. Love what he's doing ❤
Same here
But what if Akon read black panther comics as a kid cuz black panther made its debut in 1966a.d
Oh,so Chadwick Boseman knew about this,if so. Yessssssssss
I want to go live there
@@darthyoda8170 probably yes, if he had been following Akon
Hurry and build that city I'm ready to move. Bro.
How bout you find out how you can help him?

@@joebones2654 why should rich black people contribute to make that city come to life? They are not from Africa, they are from America. They worked hard for their money and should do as they please with their money.
@@minkkelly355 if they want to be greedy let them be greedy Bill Gates donates 99.8% of his money to Africa and he has no african blood in him. im not talking about an average rich black man like Dababy, im talking about the super super rich black men like Jay Z he has enough money to invest and still not notice a change in his bank account
africa should be proud of Akon he is such a great human being and he never forgot his roots greetings from morocco love mama africa
You're forever everywhere😂
May Allah bless him with a successful plan.
When it’s COMPLETED,
He know how to spend money in the right way. Help the others people. Appreciate it
with having that much money, it would be boring to spend it on yourself, spending it on others is fun
@@AGMtagious no, he's doing this for himself. Look at the size of this so called, "city" it's basically a resort for the wealthy. And if Akon pulls this off, he wins big.
well its a city based on his name with a coin with his name?? if its pulled off he will become much richer
AKON is one of my favorite artist of all times. I am proud of him for building his wealth not just in music, but in other venues outside of Hip Hop.. Amazing!!!
YES WE CAN It was his idea
I am facing financials issues kindly help me money urgently. I am from India. I loose my job last 6th months back, I am unable to manage financial issues. Please save my family please any one?

Akon is doing what we should have been doing before being enslaved. I hope this starts a new era for us African descendants .
If you haven't done it yet. Than you are way too late. Cause cash won't be available to much soon. Unless you want the number of the beast. Which I would think you won't.

@@goddesstv6308 bro what💀
@@Jaja-ss2xk lmao, I’m joking.
He a real Kang yo
Wow this guy is really going all out wish we had more like him in the world
My brother was airplane mechanic in Dakar, he lived there for 4 years! The biggest problem in Africa is the governments way over taxing businesses making it impossible to grow the business some how Akon is getting around that and growing his power companies. There is a great video with a women who owns a lip gloss business and talks about it (not Akon but taxes) and also talks about how Tom's shoes but African shoe makers out of business.
Hopefully they don't have to displace people like with the airport where they showed up with guns and told people to move. My brother went thru the transitions of airports and was told a lot of bad stories about it. Also when they built the African Renaissance Monument instead of training and employing Senegalese they hired North Koreans to build it. Hopefully Akon does the country right! Senegal is full of amazing people and they deserve it! Most were very kind to my bro who was one the very few westerns there.
Don’t be surprised if they try to take Akon out for this.

Hello Friend how are you doing today
We are probably closer to a WAKANDA, sooner then I thought
Not even close💀💀
RIP Chadwick Boseman you will always be remembered 🙏🙏
Being senegalese and seeing my country being renovated like this is so uplifting.
The government should really be doing this, lucky that you have people outside your continent that care
Akon is Senegalese
As long as he doesn't lose sight of his goal. And have investors back him up. And get everyone involved. He should be just fine. It won't be easy, but I'm certain he can do it.
His Goal isn't as humanitarian as he is laiming and alot of people in Africa already see this thats why he has faced alot of resistance!
I definitely see myself living there. I've been on the Akoin city journey since 2018 when I first heard about. I must say this is the most detailed video I've seen about!
We sure gonna be neighbors Sharn
he detailed at the beginning it was Built for the upper class,A Fictional African nation, Built for" Wider" Africa,Sounds like Never land to me.
Next up: Eko Atlantic city
If Mj,Opr, Cosby,etc... Could not even start up a manufacturer business in africa,Then Its not likely a uneducated r&b rapper would be able to achieve something of that magnitude.

The fact that Africa has such an immensely high poverty rate, yet is a literal treasure trove of natural resources is astonishing...
Yemze too bad the colonists make sure they take almost all the resources & the corrupted African leaders who don’t give two shits about the poor
Have you heard of corruption?
@@Ryanalv you might want to fact check that opinion.... 40 years ago I would have agreed..... Now I think you will find all rights are back but fighting over resources prevents them from being tapped. According to my understanding....
Well Western powers came and we were too kind to them, they incorporated their political system, educational system, and corrupted our leaders telling them that they were in Africa to teach about Christianity. That's why a lot of African presidents are corrupt, the residue is still very much there.
@@kwesinjoku8940 I quite honestly don't remember enough about African history to argue with you and what you say actually makes sense, I've been to Ghana in the 90's when my father was managing a gold mine and those people were incredibly kind and hospitable.... If there was no , or at least little corruption amongst leaders, before the Europeans came, when will Africa find its roots again? Will Akons city help? I had a friend of African heritage try to do something similar to this in 2004 or so and he could not get past the politicians with their hands out... It was not in Senegal though....

Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke. Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 💯 guaranteed.
You're right Sir , thanks for introducing me to expert Brandi Adams of financial education
Speaking of investing, forex trading is the best business in the world right now with the ever raising amount of bitcoin. I know a couple of friends who makes a lot of money weekly trading the financial market
For anyone building for posterity I think crypto is the next gold but the problem is scammers are everywhere.
I invested in both stock and crypto but I believe crypto is doing better 💯
Sadly most people don't invest in crypto due to ignorance and encouragement from those who had awkward experience

True..
For those of you wondering if 6 billion dollars isn't too small to build a futuristic city, bare in mind cost of labor and manpower in Africa is 100 times less than the US. Translation: $6B in Africa will buy you what $600B (almost a Trillion) would buy you in the US.

Love the idea but 6 billion isn’t even close to partially enough to do this, especially in today’s day and age.
Agreed.
I might not be enough in develop countries but here it is because the workers will not get the same salary like develop countries. FYI $1 = 500 F cfa ($500/month which is 250.000Fcfa., you can live a better life there).
Pre booking of a plot in that city will help him get more money back

This guy is a modern day visionary and humanitarian. This is what the wealthy people of the world should be inspired to do not only in Africa but everywhere in less fortunate countries.
Wow! I am lost for words. My dreams. My dreams can finally come true. I knew it wasn’t weird for the things I spoke of, dreamt of or my imagination alone.
I admire this attempt but 6 billion dollars isn't gonna build a city like this. Apple built a OFFICE for 5 billion. I have a feeling they may end up tripling or quadrupling their initial budget as time goes on.
U forget that the office was huge, and had many futuristic innovation s that may have cost a lot, though yes most likely it will probs double
That’s Africa 1 million like 5 million over there
6 billion is like 3 trillion in africa, not to mention he probably made deals with other countries in africa to invest in the city. He also has a solar panel company which is still growing.
🙄🤦♀️
I would like to know the Investers who's behind this Because I didn't hear anything about houses being built for the workers.
As an architecture student I can say there is no way they make the budget work for 6 billion US Dollars. The form is actually quite hard to achieve at that scale.
Your not thibking in terms of currency. Even $100 US Currency goes along way in translating to the African country
@@GAkin-hj2hq I've worked on Chinese led projects in Africa and what you said is very true and accurate. HOWEVER that's when the project is done by teams of architects and engineers with relationships with great local contractors who have created good quality design that is easy to construct. All projects that look like this such as Zaha Hadid's work in the middle east, china, Japan have gone way over budget sometimes 5 to 8 times over budget and that is just for one building. In a region where conventional modern buildings is relatively challenging to construct with the local work force, how can you expect a radical design like the one proposed here can be delivered on time and on budget when it's clearly impossible in countries that have far more experience in building innovative designs?
The materials and labor are cheaper
@@stealyonikes labor definitely, materials not necessarily especially high grade steel and expensive cladding to fit the organic forms. Many developing countries have problems with this. Even china during the construction of 2008 Olympic had problems with sourcing the right cladding.
Thank you
Finally someone that’s being realistic
