Senegalese-American singer Akon has announced
he would purchase 50 per cent of African music
download service Musik Bi, as the platform
struggles to gain a foothold after its launch 18
months ago.
Africa's first home-grown platform for legal music
downloads, Musik Bi launched in Senegal in
February 2016 with a mission to promote African
artists, pay them properly, and fight internet
piracy.
Akon announced in Dakar yesterday that he
would become the majority shareholder in the
service, describing Musik Bi as "the platform of
the future".
