Akon, the Senegalese-American singer, rapper, and entrepreneur, delivered a spectacular performance at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA, USA on Thursday, November 2, 2023. The show was part of his The Super Fan Tour, which celebrates two decades of his music career. The tour, produced by Live Nation, spans 15 cities across North America.

The Tabernacle, a historic venue that was once a church, was packed with fans who came to witness Akon’s electrifying performance. The singer opened the show with his hit single “Locked Up,” which was released in 2004 and marked his breakthrough in the music industry. He then performed a mix of his old and new songs, such as “Lonely,” “Smack That,” “I Wanna Love You,” “Right Now (Na Na Na),” and “TT Freak.”

Akon also surprised the audience with a special guest appearance by his wife, Amirah-Iman Thiam, who is also a female rapper signed to his music label, Konvict Kulture. Amirah, who goes by the stage name Amirror, joined Akon on stage to perform their collaboration song, “Far Away,” which was released in 2023. The couple showed off their chemistry and talent, rapping and singing together. Amirah also performed her solo song, “Move,” which showcases her rap skills and catchy hooks.

The show ended with Akon’s most popular song, “Don’t Matter,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2007. The singer thanked his fans for their support and love and encouraged them to follow their dreams and passions. He also expressed his gratitude to his team, his family, and his wives, who have been with him throughout his journey.

Akon’s Atlanta show was a memorable night for his fans, who enjoyed his music, energy, and charisma. The singer proved that he is still a force to be reckoned with in the music industry and has much more to offer. The Super Fan Tour will continue until December 10, 2023, when it will conclude in Dallas at the House of Blues. Fans who want to catch Akon live can get their tickets at akon.com
