Isaac Fayose, brother of ex-Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose, donates ₦500,000 to Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi, who accused the singer of abandonment. Odunsi, battling a stroke, claimed Asake stopped supporting him since 2022. Fayose’s gesture sparks debate on celebrity responsibilities and family obligations. Asake is yet to respond.
Isaac Fayose, brother of ex-Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has fulfilled his promise to assist Fatai Odunsi Adeshina, father of Nigerian singer Asake, by donating ₦500,000.
Fayose had earlier criticized Asake for allegedly neglecting his father despite his success in the music industry. He reiterated his commitment to helping the elderly man, stating that he had spoken to him personally and transferred the funds. According to Fayose, Odunsi was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for the support.
The donation follows a viral plea from Odunsi, who has been battling a stroke. He accused Asake of abandoning him since his health deteriorated in 2022, claiming the singer has ignored his calls and refused financial support.
In a heartfelt appeal, Odunsi emphasized his struggle, stating that he hadn’t seen his son since March 2022. His public cry for help generated widespread reactions, with many urging Asake to reconnect with his father.
Fayose’s intervention has sparked discussions on family responsibilities, wealth, and celebrity obligations. While some applaud his generosity, others argue that personal family matters shouldn’t be publicly scrutinized.
Asake has yet to issue an official statement addressing the controversy. However, the situation has ignited debates about parental support and financial obligations of successful individuals toward their families. The donation adds another layer to the ongoing controversy, leaving many wondering whether Asake will respond or continue to remain silent.
