Akon is all set to enthral the audience in Delhi today (November 9) with his special tour. Ahead of his highly anticipated concert, the singer-rapper was seen arriving in Delhi with his wife, Tomeka Thiam, and his other crew members at the airport.

Akon looked dapper in an all-black look, wearing a black hoodie paired with a pair of black jeans. Tomeka also twinned in black, and the two of them smiled as they spotted the paparazzi stationed outside the airport on Sunday afternoon. Akon posed for pictures and said that he is excited to perform in India.
Akon and Tomeka put up a united front after she filed for divorce a few months ago in September, citing irreconcilable differences. She listed their date of separation as "TBD". The filing also mentioned that the couple shares one child together, 17-year-old daughter Journey.
