10:31Now PlayingMarc Lamont Hill sits down with rapper, philanthropist and entrepreneur Akon on his plans to build a futuristic city in Senegal, a $6 billion development, which will be called Akon City and run solely on cryptocurrency.
“This real-life Wakanda is designed with green sustainability in mind and will include film studios and production sets, a health complex, a multi-building academic campus and an advanced tech center," Hill says.
Akon says that Africa is a rich continent, but Africans haven't taken advantage of those resources and he's there to fill in that gap.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
