Akon has paid his ex-business partner $850K to settle a portion of their ongoing lawsuit.
In 2021, music executive Devyne Stephens filed a $4 million lawsuit against Akon. In the lawsuit, Stephens claims that the singer owes him money from a 2018 settlement agreement.
“This week I fully resolved Devyne Stephens’ court application to freeze my New York assets,” Akon says in a statement. “Although I have several substantial claims that will be pursued against Stephens in the pending case. I paid him $850,000. Some of which I still challenge. To show the public that he was flat out wrong about any inability to pay the last installment of our prior settlement. My work on Akon City in Africa and Akoin cryptocurrency is too important to be tarnished and harmed by Stephens.”
