Asake Set to Support Ailing Father Amid Public Backlash
Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has found himself at the center of a public controversy involving his alleged father, Fatai Odunsi. Odunsi, who has been battling a partial stroke since 2022, recently made a public plea for financial assistance, claiming that Asake had abandoned him and neglected his well-being for an extended period.
In response to the allegations, Asake released a freestyle video in which he sings about the importance of prioritizing one’s relationship with God and not being swayed by the opinions of others. While Asake does not directly address the controversy in the video, the lyrics appear to allude to the situation, with the singer stating that even his father seeks to bring him down, but he remains resilient and focused.
Despite the public nature of the controversy, it appears that Asake has taken steps to address his alleged father’s concerns. According to reports, Asake has begun providing financial support for Odunsi’s medical care and has instructed his team to find him a new home. Odunsi has since confirmed that Asake is no longer neglecting him and has promised to take responsibility for his supposed abandoned daughter.
The situation has sparked a mixed reaction from the public, with some expressing skepticism about the authenticity of Odunsi’s claims and others praising Asake for taking steps to address the controversy. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Asake will navigate this complex family dynamic and balance his personal responsibilities with his burgeoning music career.
