Afrobeats sensation Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has found himself at the center of a heart-wrenching controversy. In a viral video, an ailing man identified as Fatai Odunsi, also known as Malo, claims to be Asake’s father and is appealing for financial assistance due to a battle with partial stroke.
Odunsi’s plea, widely shared on social media, alleges that Asake has neglected him since his illness began in March 2022. “The last time I saw him was in March 2022 when my sickness started. If I call Asake, he won’t pick up,” Odunsi lamented in the video. He further called on Nigerians for help with his medical treatment, saying, “Good day everyone, I am the father of Ahmed Asake, the singer. Please help me, I need your support.”
As of the time of this report, Asake has yet to respond to the allegations, leaving many to speculate about the truth behind Odunsi’s claims. The situation has sparked a broader conversation about the responsibilities of celebrities towards their families and the societal expectations placed on them.
