Nigerian music sensation Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has reconciled with his father, Fatai Odunsi, following a public dispute over alleged neglect. The reconciliation comes after Odunsi accused the hip-hop star of abandoning him amid declining health since 2022.
In a heartfelt video shared on Sunday, Odunsi confirmed that Asake has reached out to him, resolving their differences and promising to provide financial support. Speaking in Yoruba, Odunsi expressed relief and gratitude, stating, “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’s Promises to His Father
Odunsi revealed that Asake has committed to addressing his needs, including purchasing a new house and covering his medical expenses. “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 said.
The reconciliation marks a significant turnaround in their relationship, which had been strained due to Odunsi’s public accusations. Asake’s decision to step up and support his father has been widely praised by fans and followers.
Taking Responsibility for His Daughter
In addition to supporting his father, Asake has also agreed to take full responsibility for his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat. Odunsi clarified that while Asake had never denied paternity, he has now made a formal commitment to care for the child.
“He has never denied his child, but he has now promised to take full responsibility for the child,” Odunsi stated.
Implications of the Reconciliation
The resolution of the family dispute highlights the importance of communication and accountability, particularly in the face of public scrutiny. Asake’s actions demonstrate a willingness to address past grievances and fulfill his responsibilities as both a son and a father.
The reconciliation also serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by public figures in balancing personal relationships with their professional lives. Asake’s decision to prioritize family matters has endeared him further to his fans, who have expressed support for his efforts to make amends.
Next Steps
With the family rift now resolved, Asake is expected to focus on his music career while ensuring his commitments to his father and daughter are fulfilled. The hip-hop star’s actions set a positive example for others in similar situations, emphasizing the value of reconciliation and responsibility.
