Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has responded to a viral video featuring a man, Fatai Odunsi, who claims to be his father and has accused him of neglect.
In the emotional video, Odunsi tearfully appealed for financial assistance after suffering from a stroke.
He alleged that Asake had abandoned him, stating that the last time they saw each other was in March 2022, around the time his illness began.
“Good day everyone, I’m the one that gave birth to Ahmed Asake, the singer,” Odunsi said in the video. “The last time I set my eyes on him was March 2022 when my sickness started. If I called Asake, he won’t pick. Please help me, it is your help that I need.”
Amid the growing controversy, Asake seemingly addressed the situation through a song shared on social media.
The singer, who reportedly parted ways with Olamide’s YBNL record label, suggested that his father was trying to manipulate him despite his previous financial support.
Singing in Yoruba, he expressed, “You can’t please the world. Whatever you do, do it for God and always remember the day you’ll die and meet your God. My people, can you see? Even my father wants to cajole me. I used to press money for him, and I did it with a pure heart. No one can quench my fire. God is the one taking me ahead in life.”
Asake has not issued a direct statement on the matter, but his cryptic message has sparked widespread reactions online, with fans divided over the family dispute.
