Nah, for real though. How many?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He did say one thing: There is only one husband in the arrangement. He&#8217;s the man and they cannot have another one. He made that clear. There is another layer to that. Wife No. 1 sits on the throne and the others are the side queens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That one is the reason you even got one, two or three. She&#8217;s the queen,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Nobody violates wife No. 1. The moment they violate, they&#8217;re out the door.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder who that one is and I am sure you know where this is headed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akon admitted the hardest job belongs to the first wife, who has to welcome new personalities, new attitudes and new habits into the family without blowing everything up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With new people joining your family, there&#8217;s going to be new attitudes, new mindsets, new behaviors,&#8221; he said. This is wild to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akon also revealed, which most of us know, men must provide for everybody equally. That&#8217;s a lot of money most people don&#8217;t have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eggs and concert tickets are the same price these days, my guy. And I do not mean IVF (in vitro fertilization).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Akon, the whole system works because of communication, maturity and clearly established rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, they did not delve into his personal biz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year <a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/akon-rejects-wifes-spousal-support-plea-after-29-year-marriage\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"6120697\">Tomeka Thiam<\/a>, his wife since 1996, filed for divorce in September 2025 and that was just four days before their 29th wedding anniversary. I hope this interview is a sign that he&#8217;s doing better with the First Lady. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, Akon seems great. Here&#8217;s our last convo&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d## class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<d## class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Fj2QbWA41g?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/d##>\n<\/d##><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t<!-- Ezoic - incontent_6 694 - incontent_6 -->\n\t\t\t<aside><div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-694\"> <\/div><\/aside>\n\t\t\t<!-- End Ezoic - incontent_6 694 - incontent_6 --><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t<!-- Ezoic - incontent_2 623 - incontent_5 -->\n\t\t\t<aside><div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-623\"> <\/div><\/aside>\n\t\t\t<!-- End Ezoic - incontent_2 623 - incontent_5 --><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t<!-- Ezoic - incontent_7 695 - incontent_7 -->\n\t\t\t<aside><div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-695\"> <\/div><\/aside>\n\t\t\t<!-- End Ezoic - incontent_7 695 - incontent_7 --><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t<!-- Ezoic - incontent_8 696 - incontent_8 -->\n\t\t\t<aside><div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-696\"> <\/div><\/aside>\n\t\t\t<!-- End Ezoic - incontent_8 696 - incontent_8 --><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t<!-- Ezoic - incontent_4 626 - longest_content -->\n\t\t\t<aside><div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-626\"> <\/div><\/aside>\n\t\t\t<!-- End Ezoic - incontent_4 626 - longest_content --><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t<!-- Ezoic - incontent_5 627 - incontent_5 -->\n\t\t\t<aside><div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-627\"> <\/div><\/aside>\n\t\t\t<!-- End Ezoic - incontent_5 627 - incontent_5 --><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t<!-- Ezoic - incontent_7 629 - incontent_7 -->\n\t\t\t<aside><div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-629\"> <\/div><\/aside>\n\t\t\t<!-- End Ezoic - incontent_7 629 - incontent_7 --><\/p><style>.mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}}<\/style><div class=\"mobile_only_ad\"><div data-openweb-ad data-row=\"1\" data-column=\"1\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akon is the one, but his wives are the many.
