Mansa Musa ascended the throne after Mansa Abu Bakr II, who is said to have sailed into the Atlantic Ocean around 1307 without evidence of reaching America, making the statement false. Historical accounts often treat Abu Bakr II's voyage as legend. Therefore, the assertion that he sailed west and possibly reached the New World is unsupported by factual evidence.
