Afrobeats Star Pledges to Buy Father a New House and Cover Medical Expenses

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has reconciled with his estranged father, Fatai Odunsi, after years of tension.

The hitmaker has also made a heartfelt commitment to take full responsibility for his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat, ensuring her well-being moving forward.

A Long-Awaited Reunion

The reconciliation comes days after Odunsi publicly accused Asake of neglecting him amid his declining health since 2022. In a widely circulated interview, Odunsi expressed disappointment over his son’s alleged lack of support, claiming they had grown distant despite Asake’s meteoric rise to fame.

However, in a new video shared on Sunday, March 17, 2025, Odunsi confirmed that Asake has now reached out to him, signaling the end of their long-standing dispute.

Speaking in Yoruba, Odunsi said:

“His mother ought to ask him when last he saw me. That was what got me angry, but we have sorted all the problems. We are no longer fighting.”

Asake’s Grand Gesture: A New House for His Father

In a move to mend their broken relationship, Asake has reportedly pledged to buy his father a new house and also cover all his medical expenses.

Odunsi further disclosed:

“Asake said he will do everything that I want. We have settled, no more problems. They are now looking for a new house that he will buy for me. He has settled everything.”

This development has sparked positive reactions from fans, who have praised the singer for making amends with his father and taking responsibility for his family.

Taking Responsibility for His Daughter

Beyond reconciling with his father, Asake has also vowed to be more present in his daughter’s life.

Odunsi reassured the public that Asake has never denied Zeenat but has now formally committed to taking full responsibility for her welfare.

“He has never denied his child, but he has now promised to take full responsibility for the child,” Odunsi revealed.
