- Social media is ablaze with shock and curiosity over a viral video of a man who not only claims to have birthed Asake but also alleges the singer neglected him since 2022.
- In the emotional footage, he laid bare his struggles, voiced his pain and frustration while pleading for support in his battle against the crippling effects of a stroke.
.A man who introduced himself as Fatai Odunsi Ahmed, claiming to be the father of Afrobeats sensation Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has sent shockwaves across social media with a heart-wrenching video detailing his struggle with illness and alleged abandonment.
In the viral footage, which has gripped the internet and ignited intense speculation, Fatai appeared alongside a family friend, Mustapha Abiodun, who took it upon himself to expose the grim reality of the ailing man’s condition.
Seated, frail, and burdened by the weight of his ordeal, Fatai revealed that his life took a tragic turn in March 2022 when he suffered a stroke, the same period he claimed to have last seen Asake.
With pain etched into his voice, he alleged that as his son’s fame skyrocketed, he was cast into the shadows, left to battle his affliction in silence. He recounted his desperate attempts to reach the former YBNL signee, how his calls went unanswered.
Now, in the grip of illness, he pleaded with Nigerians to come to his aid, to help fund his treatment as he fights to reclaim his health.
