Man Claims to Be Asake’s Father, Says He Has Been Abandoned
A man has stirred reactions online after releasing a video in which he claims to be the father of Nigerian singer Asake, revealing that he recently suffered a stroke and has not received any support from the music star.
In the now-viral video, the frail-looking man expressed frustration over his alleged estrangement from the singer, stating that he had been battling health issues since March 2024.
“I am Asake’s father, the singer. When I had a stroke in March, the last time I saw him was in 2022, and when I call him, he doesn’t pick. I’m frustrated, and that’s why I’m appealing to you—I need your help.”
The video has sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some sympathizing with the man while others have questioned his claims.
Amid the controversy, some unverified reports surfaced, alleging that Asake was raised solely by his mother, as his father had reportedly abandoned them years ago. These claims, however, remain speculative, as neither Asake nor his team has responded to the allegations.
The development has fueled online debates about celebrity family dynamics, personal responsibilities, and the pressures faced by public figures when dealing with family issues in the spotlight.
