That's right. The rapper Akon is building a charter city in Senegal. https://akoncity.com/
I asked GPT-4 to write a parody of 'Smack That' about Akon City. This is the result:
[Intro: Akon & Investor]
Shady
Konvict, upfront
Akon, Crypto Crazy
I see the one, could this be that city? Ayy
[Pre-Chorus: Akon]
I see you schemin', I can see it from my ledger
Wanna jump up in my crypto endeavor?
Maybe go to my city and just kick it like we're pro?
And possibly cash you over?
[Chorus: Akon]
Look back and watch me stack that, all on the shore
Stack that, give me some more
Stack that, 'til you get poor
Stack that, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Stack that, all on the shore
Stack that, give me some more
Stack that, 'til you get poor
Stack that, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: Akon]
Upfront style, ready to build now
Pull in the city lot slow with the drill down
Konvict's got the whole thing sealed now
Step in the city, the future's revealed now
I feel it, dawnin' bricked now
Ooh, I see it golden and tricked now
I'ma call her, then I put the stack down
Money no problem, pocket full of that now
[Verse 2: Eminem]
Oh, looks like another coin changer
They better hang on when they throw this thing on
Get a little bank on, they gon' flip
For this Akon bit, you can bank on it
Architecture, infrastructure, kitty-cat paws
The way it climbs up the economic walls
Lookin' like one of them futuristic halls
Tryin' to hold my crypto back through my draws
Steps off stage, didn't think I saw her
Creeps up behind me, and she's like "You're—"
I'm like, "I know, let's cut to the chase
No time to waste, back to my space"
Plus from the globe to the crib's like a mile away
