Asake Reconciles with Ailing Father, Promises to Cover Medical Expenses
Afrobeats sensation Asake has made amends with his ailing father, Fatai Odunsi, following a recent public fallout between them.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Odunsi made this known in a new video released online, confirming that his son has reached out to him following a recent public fallout between them.
Odunsi had accused Asake of abandoning him since his health started deteriorating in 2022, alleging that despite the singer’s fame and fortune, he had not been financially supportive.
However, in a new video released online, Odunsi confirmed that his son has reached out to him and promised to support him.
“His mother ought to ask him when last he saw me. That was what got me angry, but we have sorted all the problems,” Odunsi said.
“We are no longer fighting. Asake said he will do everything that I want. We have settled, no more problems.”
Odunsi revealed that Asake has instructed real estate agents to find him a new home and has agreed to take full responsibility for his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat.
“They are now looking for a new house that he will buy for me. He has settled everything,” Odunsi said.
“He has never denied his child, but he has now promised to take full responsibility for the child.”
Odunsi also mentioned that he would be going to the hospital the next day, as Asake had sent him all the necessary funds for his treatment.
Asake had earlier responded to his father’s accusations, saying:
“You can’t please everyone, you can’t please the world. But anything you are doing, just do it for God.”
“My own father wants to cajole me, and I have sent so much money to him. I have struggled for so many years, but they want to make life tire me.”
