Asake reconciles with father
By Francesca Hangeior
Afrobeats sensation Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has made amends with his ailing father, Fatai Odunsi, and promised to purchase a house for him and as well cover his medical expenses.
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.
The ailing Odunsi had in a viral video 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 swift reaction, the “Lonely at the Top” crooner flayed the accusation with a cryptic message on social media, singing in Yoruba.
He said: “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.”
The recrimination, however, generated a buzz on social media, with many fans and netizens expressing sympathy with the father, while others took sides with the artiste.
As the intrigues continued between the father and son, their extended family members intervened and called on Asake to come to his father’s rescue by purchasing a house for him and also providing medical support.
However, in video released on Sunday night, Odunsi revealed that his son has reached out and promised to support him.
According to him, Asake has committed to purchasing a new house for him and covering his medical expenses.
Speaking in Yoruba, Odunsi expressed pride in Asake and showered him with prayers, adding that he called out Asake because it had been a long time since he saw him.
He further revealed that Asake has instructed real estate agents to find him a new home.
He said: “His mother ought to ask him when last he saw me. That was what got me angry, but we have sorted all the problems.
“We are no longer fighting. Asake said he will do everything that I want.We have settled, no more problems.
“They are now looking for a new house that he will buy for me. He has settled everything.”
Odunsi also confirmed that the artiste has agreed to take full responsibility for his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat.
“He has never denied his child, but he has now promised to take full responsibility for the child.”
He 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.

Singer Speed Darlington regrets says “I’m close to 60 no wife, no kid to point at as mine”
Singer and rapper, Speed Darlington, has regretted over his current marital status, lamenting that he is still single in his late 50s.
The Akpi crooner lamented that he has no wife or child despite approaching 60.
Speaking in a recent video broadcast, Speed Darlington said he wants more out of life than he currently has.
He stated that at his age, he should be happily married with children.
“I am close to 60 with no wife or child. Is this how I am going to live my life? All I have to show is American papers. I want more than American papers out of life.
“I want family, freedom and respect,” he said.
Recall that a few years ago, Speed Darlington publicly advertised for a wife, outlining a specific list of qualifications.
According to the list, his ideal partner must be dark-skinned, between 18 and 23 years old, at least 5’8″ tall, weighing under 150 lbs, and fluent in both English and Igbo.
Years after the public advertisement, the singer is yet to find a wife.
Nigerian singer Mr Real has sparked controversy after rejecting economic advice recently offered by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, declaring that he would rather “join banditry” than take up the small-scale businesses she suggested.
The “Legbegbe” crooner made the remark while reacting to comments by the First Lady, who encouraged low-income Nigerians to embrace small businesses as a means of achieving financial independence amid the country’s economic challenges.
Speaking at an event last Thursday, Mrs. Tinubu advised Nigerians with limited financial resources to consider ventures such as frying akara (bean cakes), roasting corn, or producing kuli-kuli (groundnut snacks). According to her, these businesses require relatively low start-up capital and can provide a sustainable source of income.
However, Mr Real dismissed the suggestion, arguing that petty trading is not a practical solution to the economic hardship many Nigerians are currently facing. In a reaction that quickly gained attention on social media, the singer said he would rather turn to banditry than engage in the businesses recommended by the First Lady.
His comment has since generated mixed reactions online. While some social media users criticized the statement as reckless and inappropriate, others viewed it as an expression of frustration over the country’s worsening economic conditions rather than a literal endorsement of criminal activity.
A newly circulated video of veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has sparked fresh concern among Nigerians, with many expressing worry about the actor’s health and overall well-being.
The video, reportedly recorded on Saturday, June 27, shows Anuku sitting and at times lying on the ground along a street in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja.
In the footage, the veteran actor appears unkempt and is seen holding a disposable cup while speaking to himself, prompting widespread discussion across social media platforms.
The video has generated mixed reactions online, with many fans expressing sympathy and calling for support for the actor. Some social media users speculated that Anuku may have been intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol.
However, these claims remain unverified, and there has been no official confirmation regarding the cause of his condition or behavior in the video.
As of the time of this report, the actor and his representatives have not publicly commented on the circulating footage.
