The Digest:
Nigerian singer Asake has reportedly purchased a Toyota Land Cruiser for his father, Fatai Odunsi, days after gifting his mother a luxury Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. The gesture comes months after a viral video in which Odunsi alleged the fast-rising music star had neglected him amid health challenges. Asake's breakthrough came after signing with YBNL Nation, releasing hit albums including "Mr. Money With The Vibe" (2022), "Work of Art," and "Lungu Boy." His dominance on streaming platforms includes his single "Why Love" as the most-streamed song on Apple Music Nigeria in 2025, and his collaboration with Wizkid, "MMS," as a top-five track. Asake has earned two Grammy nominations, "Amapiano" with Olamide (2023) and "MMS" with Wizkid, cementing his status as one of Nigeria's most influential music exports.
