Fatai Odunsi, father of Nigerian music star Asake, has made a public plea for financial assistance after suffering a stroke and struggling with his health.
In a viral video on social media, he alleged that his son has abandoned him since his illness began in March 2022.
Speaking with a weak voice, Odunsi explained that he has been battling a partial stroke, which has affected his ability to move and care for himself. He stated that despite multiple attempts to contact Asake, the singer has not answered his calls.
“The last time I saw my son was in March 2022 when my sickness started,” he said. “If I call Asake, he won’t pick up. Please help me, I need your assistance.”
Social media reactions
The video has sparked mixed reactions online. Many Nigerians have expressed concern over Odunsi’s condition, with some urging Asake to support his father.
One social media user commented, “No matter what happened between father and son, Asake should not abandon his dad in such a condition.”
Another user wrote, “We don’t know the full story. People are quick to judge, but there may be more to this than we see.”
Some fans have defended the singer, suggesting that family disputes can be complicated. Others, however, believe that Odunsi’s health should come first and have called on Asake to intervene.
Asake yet to respond
Asake has not yet addressed the allegations. The singer, known for hit songs like Joha and Lonely at the Top, has built a reputation for his lavish lifestyle. He often shares photos and videos of his success, including luxury cars, designer outfits, and international tours.
This is not the first time a Nigerian celebrity has been accused of neglecting family members. In the past, similar accusations have sparked debates about the responsibilities of wealthy public figures toward their families.
A struggle for medical care
Odunsi’s condition highlights the difficulties faced by elderly individuals dealing with serious health challenges. Stroke treatment and rehabilitation require ongoing medical attention, which can be expensive without financial support.
For now, Nigerians are waiting to see if Asake will respond to his father’s plea. Meanwhile, concerned individuals continue to rally around Odunsi, offering whatever assistance they can.
What happens next?
As this situation unfolds, many are left wondering whether Asake will step up to help his father or if the rift between them will deepen. While the full story remains unclear, one thing is certain—Odunsi needs urgent medical care, and time is running out.
