Akinfenwa, 39, received the abuse as he went through his warm-up routine on the sidelines.
And ten minutes before half-time, he lost his rag and confronted fans allegedly aiming abuse his way.
Play was halted and one of the supporters was reportedly booted out of the stadium.
Wycombe gaffer Gareth Ainsworth was spotted pleading with travelling fans to stop singing the abusive chant.
MK Dons’ official account followed Ainsworth’s suit, urging supporters not to engage in abusive chanting.
They tweeted: “We ask that the #MKDons fans please refrain from singing that chant.

“Let’s get behind the boys.”
Wycombe then posted a message on the big screen urging all supporters in attendance not to engage in abusive chanting.
It read: “Wycombe Wanderers asks all supporters to respect all ground regulations in relation to the use of abusive or discriminatory language.”
talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook was in attendance at Adams Park and gave a detailed account of the ‘disgraceful scenes’.
He said: “I have to stress they are not of a racial nature, but we certainly don’t condone what is being sung by these travelling MK Dons fans.
“He was so incensed, Akinfenwa, that he actually went over to the front row of the stand to try and confront some of those who were taunting him.
“There is at least one travelling support who has been hauled out by the stewards.
“Gareth Ainsworth was on the pitch at one stage and referee Robert Lewis did stop play while it all calmed down.

“The stewards are still trying to deal with it, it’s absolutely disgraceful scenes from that away end – a jam-packed away end for this Bucks derby.”
A fiercely-contested Buckinghamshire derby was decided in the 13th minute when Scott Twine struck for the visitors to score the only goal of the match.
Victory at Adams Park saw Ainsworth’s troops leapfrog their hosts into fourth place in the League One table.

DALE VINCE has revealed Forest Green Rovers’ plans for an all-WOODEN stadium – with a care home, hotel and nature reserve on site.But construction work can only begin after a huge four-month archaeological dig has taken place on a Roman Villa and artefacts buried below! 
The new all-wooden stadium will hold 5,000 fans
The stadium will be the first of its kind in the world
The site will be located next to Junction 13 of the M5 in Gloucestershire and will include a hotel and care home as well as office space.
Zaha Hadid beat over 50 entires to build the 5,000-seater stadium for Forest Green
Vince expects the development to improve the habitat on site by creating more green space with trees, wetland and hedgerows
Vince, Founder of Ecotricity, and Chairman of Forest Green Rovers, told SunSport: “There’s a villa on site. It’s been known about for quite a while, I’d guess 50 or 60 years.
“So we’ve got to do a whole bunch of digging around the football pitches just to see if there’s anything else significant in the field that’s not been found before.
“So far, we’ve found bits of pottery and a couple of coins which are all kind of to be expected near a villa. 
“It would be amazing to find a mosaic or something, but we probably won’t.
“Then we can get on to doing the football pitches which should be our first practical piece of building at Eco Park.”
Green energy company Electrocity are behind the building plans for the club’s new home and an Eco Park on the Gloucestershire base, located next to Junction 13 of the M5. 
The plans include the first-ever all-wooden stadium, which will hold 5,000, and new training facilities for the men’s, women’s and youth teams under one roof.
There will also be a care home, 100 bedroom hotel and a nature reserve complete with a new canal. 
The women, men and youth teams will use the same facilities
The site is above a Roman villa and artefacts and an archaeological survey and dig has begun
Forest Green Rovers chairman Dale Vince says the football club’s new home ground will become “the lowest carbon football stadium in the world ever”

Vince added: “The pictures of the stadium speak more than 1000 of my words. It looks incredible is all I can say. 
“Wood is a beautiful material to be around. It’s so warm and lovely. 
“The stadium will be like nothing else on the planet. And the experience of being in it is just going to be awesome.”
Developers expect the build will contribute around £150m to the local economy annually while generating £2m per year for Stroud District Council.
Not only will there be a care home but also a ‘later life care village’. 
Vince added: “I’ve been in conversation with the District Council and it is something that the district needs and there was room on site for that and so we added it to the plans.”
There will be a plush nature reserve on site, with more than 2km of new hedgerows, several thousand trees, wetland and the canal will return. 
The site is also expected to self-generate over 80% of all energy used. 
Vince also hopes to create an academy for girls to use the training facilities alongside the boys. 
When asked about all the teams training under one roof, he said: “It is important because at the moment, they all train in different places. 
“We’ve got a youth set up with a couple of 100 kids in it. We’ve got an academy set up, women’s team and the first team.
“We want to build a girls youth system as well at the moment because of course it’s all boys 
“We’ll bring that into the club as well. It’s just important for us all to be in the same place you know as the entire football family at Forest Green Rovers.”

JAMILLE MATT is enjoying the best days of his career at Forest Green.The 32-year-old striker loves the club so much he wishes he had joined them years ago.
Jamille Matt has been banging in the goals for Forest Green Rovers this season
Matt has scored 16 goals this season for the League Two leaders, and is the division’s second-top scorer.
Rovers are seven points clear of second-place Tranmere with a game in hand as they host Carlisle on Saturday.
And Matt said: “The whole environment we’ve got at the club from top to bottom is excellent.
“From chairman Dale Vince and director of football Richard Hughes, the manager Rob Edwards, the whole support staff, players and fans. It’s great to be here.
“We had a good team and squad last season but they’ve brought the manager and a few new players in to build on that.
“The gaffer has improved every single player, every area of the pitch and made us more ruthless.

“He’s made us better individually and as a team and we’re getting the results too so it’s fantastic to be part of.
“Take the chairman. He trusts the people he’s put in place. The structure is there to be successful.
“It’s about everyone doing their jobs. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here. And I wish I had started at a club like this at the start of my career.”
Matt has been promoted from League Two twice – having gone up with Fleetwood in 2014 and Blackpool in 2017 through the play-offs.
He also suffered the agony of losing a final at Newport against Tranmere in 2019.
And he feels as though he has some unfinished business in League One and would love to prove himself there with Forest Green.

He said: “I’ve never had a fair crack at League One.
“At Fleetwood, just as we were about to start the season I did my cruciate and lateral ligaments so missed the first season. 
“I managed to get back the second season but boss Graham Alexander got sacked and I no longer could get the game time.
“We won promotion at Blackpool but I tore my hamstring before the end of the season and when I got fit I wasn’t given a chance.
“In the games I played, I held my own. I’d love to show what I can do with Forest Green.”
Matt was nominated as the League Two player of the season and this season was awarded the club captaincy.
He said: “In terms of potency and effectiveness, I’m definitely playing my best football and so honoured to be captain.
“I want to use all my experience to help the younger boys here – and hopefully I can keep scoring goals to help the team into League One.” 
Matt believes Forest Green Rovers are an even better side than last season
Everyone knows that Forest Green are a vegan club – in terms of no meat is allowed to be consumed by the players while on a team duty in training or on matchdays.And although by his own admission, Matt is a “meat eater”, the food served up at the Gloucestershire club has inspired him to eat vegan food at home.He said: “It’s made me much more aware of the choices I’ve been making and the impact on the environment.
“I’d incorporated more meat-free options in my diet before I came to the club,”But the menu we have at the training ground has inspired me to have three or four days a week meat free. My favourite dish is the vegan spag bol. “There are obvious health benefits and as the oldest player in the squad it’s important to look after my body – and the nutrition side is important.” More
