Nigerian singer Ahmed Asake Ololade has responded to allegations made by his father, Fatai Odunsi, claiming he abandoned him after suffering a stroke in March 2022.
In a viral video, Mr Odunsi alleged that Asake repeatedly ignored his calls and had not offered him any assistance since the onset of his condition. However, Asake denied these allegations in a video posted on his TikTok page.
“You can’t please the world. Whatever you do in this life, do it for the sake of God, and remember the day we will all die and be buried. Can you see how things are going, my people? My father wants to tarnish my name and career, but I stand firm because they can’t kill my glory,” Asake said.
“I always send money and have been faithful to my father, but when things get out of hand, I will move on because I don’t want trouble. It is God who is blessing me and lifting me higher.”
The video sparked a buzz on social media, with some netizens criticizing the singer for neglecting his father, while others defended him, claiming he was raised by a single mother.
