A previously recorded video of Nigerian singer Asake presenting his father, Fatai Odunsi (popularly known as Malo), with a house and car in 2023 has reemerged online, fueling heated discussions amid their ongoing conflict.
The controversy started when Malo publicly accused Asake of neglecting him despite his rise to fame. A viral clip showed Asake’s father appealing for support and expressing disappointment over his son’s alleged lack of care.
However, the newly surfaced footage paints a different picture. In the video, a group of young men is seen celebrating Malo, contradicting claims that Asake abandoned him. Reports suggest that after achieving success in the music industry, Asake gifted his father both a house and a car in 2023.
Music platform TooXclusive shared the video with the caption: “Asake apparently never abandoned his father. Reports indicate he bought him a house and a car as far back as 2023 when he rose to fame. Hmmmm.”
The release of this video has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans speculating that the accusations against Asake may be influenced by external factors or misinformation.
Addressing the situation, Asake confirmed that Fatai Odunsi is indeed his father but denied the allegations of neglect. He asserted that he has consistently provided financial support despite the ongoing claims.
