Fatai Odunsi, the father of Nigerian singer Asake, has publicly pleaded for financial assistance after suffering a partial stroke. In a viral video circulating on social media, Odunsi alleged that his son has abandoned him since his health deteriorated in March 2022.
Speaking in the emotional footage, Odunsi expressed his distress, stating that despite numerous attempts to reach Asake, the singer has refused to answer his calls. "The last time I saw my son was when my illness started. If I call him, he won’t pick up. Please, Nigerians, I need your help," he said.
The video has sparked widespread reactions, with many social media users divided on the matter. Some criticized Asake for allegedly neglecting his ailing father, while others urged caution, pointing out that the full details of their relationship remain unknown.

Industry insiders suggest that family disputes are not uncommon among celebrities, particularly those who rise to fame rapidly.
As the controversy unfolds, many Nigerians are calling for Asake to address the claims and support his father. Meanwhile, Odunsi continues to seek financial aid for his medical treatment, hoping that public attention will bring relief to his situation.
