Following a video of Fatai Odunsi ,the father of Nigerian Singer Ahmed Ololade,Popularly known as Asake, soliciting for help following his battle with stroke ,the singer has been receiving criticisms from friend, family and others .
Odunsi, according to the video,was left paralyzed after suffering a stroke.He is however seeking public financial assistance to cover his medical expenses,leading to the accusations that the music star has abandoned is ailing father despite his success.
Following the news, the singer has now found himself at the centre of controversy, with many criticising him for not caring for his father. However, conflicting narratives soon emerged about Malo’s role in Asake’s life.
Some sources alleged that Malo was a supportive father who raised Asake singlehandedly after his mother left when he was three years old. Others countered this claim, stating that the singer had been abandoned by his father and only had a strong relationship with his mother, whose name he adopted as his stage name.
A Facebook user, Segun Ben-Ajayi, shut down allegations that Malo was a deadbeat father, insisting that he played a crucial role in Asake’s upbringing. “Malo was never an absentee father. He raised Asake alone when his mother left. Now, ironically, the singer enjoys his success with the very person who abandoned him,”
Asake could not be reached for his comments but a statement by a source which was credited to the grammy award nominee read in parts : titled :’AB0RT THAT BASTARD CHILD!’ ,was the first statement you made when my mother told you she had taken in for you.
You even ate the only plantain my mother was trying to eat to regain strength , two days after i was born.
You told my mother never to mention you as my father since you were educated and my mother wasn’t, so you wouldn’t spoil your steeze.
You ignored me all through the years and never supported me with a dime all through my education.
All of a sudden, you are sick, worn out and broken and need my help now.
Where do I start?
