Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has finally responded to reports that he abandoned his father after he fell ill. Earlier in the week, Fatai Odunsi had publicly accused the singer of abandoning him in 2022 when a stroke hit him.
In a video that went viral on social media, Mr. Odunsi claimed the singer ignored his calls and appealed to the public for financial assistance. However, Asake has now responded to the allegation, taking to social media with a cryptic message delivered in a Yoruba freestyle.
The singer appeared to suggest that his father was attempting to manipulate him despite his generosity. He sang, “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 one mind.”
