- Asake has reacted to the pleas and brouhaha surrounding the video of a man who claims to be the former’s father.
- The man revealed he suffered a partial stroke and needs money for medication, adding that the singer has abandoned him and refused to take his calls.
- Doing what he does best, Asake channeled his response into music, and sang about the issue.
Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, better known as Asake has broken his silence concerning a trending video of a man who claims to be his father.
The man, Fatai Odunsi in a video cried out for financial assistance after suffering from stroke.
He also accused Asake of neglect, noting that the last time he saw him was when the sickness started in March 2022.
While calling on Nigerians to render him financial help for his medical treatment, he said:
“Good day everyone, I’m the one that gave birth to Ahmed Asake the singer.
“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”.
Taking to social media to address the situation of things, Asake in a video sang his response. The singer who reportedly exited Olamide’s YBNL record label accused his father of trying to manipulate him, despite spending a lot of money. Singing in Yoruba language, Asake said:
“You can’t please everyone, you can’t please the world, anything you are doing just do it for God. My own father wants to cajole me even though I am a big spender who shares a lot of money. If you distract me, I’ll move on. I have struggled for so many years but they want to make life hard & tiring for me.”
