The family of Asake has urged the popular entertainer to buy a house worth N40M or N50m for his father, Fatai Odunsi.
The family made the demand after Asake’s father went online to accuse his son of abandoning him despite his fame and money.
Mr Odunsi added that he had not seen Asake since 2022, when his health began to deteriorate, and he now felt the need to seek help publicly.
However, the situation escalated further on Saturday with the family coming out to make fresh demands.
In a viral video, the family, speaking through a female representative—believed to be Asake’s paternal aunt, said a N50m house is not too much for Asake to provide for his father.
The family said: “I’m begging you, Asake; you’ll grow old one day, so please take care of your father. Asake needs to come and do what is required. Even if Nigerians contributed N10 billion to Mr Odunsi, Asake’s N1 million would make him happier than he is today. The Quran says we will reap whatever we sow in this life. Ololade, Mr Money, we want you to continue growing, and God will keep blessing you. May God also help you to support your father.
“I won’t go into your mother’s issue, but you must do the right thing and care for your father. In Isale Eko, you can find a house worth N40 million or N50 million. You could buy one for your father so he can live off the rent if you don’t want to provide for him directly. If you don’t want to take care of him, at least buy a house worth N50 million in his name, and he will survive on the rent. He’s not asking for much.”
The family also claimed that Asake abandoned his alleged 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat.
Additionally, the family urged Asake to take full responsibility for Zeenat.
“This is the woman who gave birth to his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat, whom his father has been caring for. Zeenat’s mother has been living with Asake’s father in the same house since you (Asake) abandoned them. As for Zeenat, your 11-year-old daughter, you need to take responsibility for her.
“Zeenat’s mother is here, and since you’re doubting her paternity, she is ready for a DNA test to confirm the truth. We know that men sometimes deny fathering children, but a DNA test will settle it. Zeenat’s mother and her family are willing to follow you to any location of your choice for the test”, they said.
