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.
