Asake’s Father Cries Out for Help After Stroke, Accuses Singer of Neglect
Fatai Odunsi, father of Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake, has publicly pleaded for financial assistance after suffering a partial stroke. In a viral video, he accused his son of abandoning him since 2022, claiming that Asake has ignored his calls despite his deteriorating health.
In the emotional footage circulating on social media, Odunsi revealed that his illness began in March 2022, and since then, he has struggled to reach his son. “The last time I saw my son was when my illness started. If I call him, he won’t pick up. Please, Nigerians, I need your help,” he lamented.
The video has triggered mixed reactions online. While some social media users criticized Asake for allegedly neglecting his ailing father, others urged caution, noting that family issues are often complicated. Many believe there may be more to the situation than what has been made public.
Asake, one of Nigeria’s most successful Afrobeats artists, has yet to respond to the allegations. His silence has only fueled speculation, with fans eager to hear his side of the story. Industry insiders note that conflicts between celebrities and their families are not uncommon, especially when fame and financial success come into play.
As the controversy unfolds, Nigerians are calling on Asake to address the claims and offer support to his father. Meanwhile, Odunsi continues to seek financial aid for his medical treatment, hoping that public attention will bring him the assistance he desperately needs.
