Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has addressed recent allegations made by a man named Fatai Odunsi, who claims to be his father and accuses him of neglect during his health struggles. Odunsi, reportedly battling a stroke since March 2022, alleged that Asake has not been in contact and has ignored his calls.
In response, Asake shared a video on social media where he sang in Yoruba, expressing sentiments about the challenges of pleasing everyone and emphasizing the importance of acting for God’s sake. He mentioned that even his own father is trying to manipulate him, despite his efforts and financial support. He conveyed that he remains steadfast and that no one can diminish his spirit.
[Translation: “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 do it with one mind. No one can quench my fire. God is the one that is taking me ahead in life.”]
This public exchange has garnered mixed reactions from fans and the public, with some expressing concern over the family’s private matters being aired publicly, while others sympathize with both parties involved.
