Asake Finally Reunites with His Father after Viral "Abandonment" Outcry: "No More Fighting”
- A new photo confirms that Asake and his father are now on good terms, following their initial reconciliation in March 2025
- The peace comes after a turbulent period where Mr. Odunsi publicly accused his son of neglecting him while he battled a stroke
- The singer reportedly fulfilled his promise to take over his father's medical bills and purchase a luxurious new home for him
A fresh chapter appears to be unfolding in singer Asake’s personal life as a new photo of him and his father, Fatai Odunsi, surfaced online on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
The photo showed the duo in a calm setting, suggesting a relationship that has moved from conflict to understanding.
Earlier in 2025, Asake found himself at the centre of intense public scrutiny when his father accused him of abandonment while battling a stroke.

Also, his baby mama, Adijat, publicly alleged that the singer abandoned their daughter, Zeenat, for six years after his sudden rise to fame.
According to her, she had supported his university education at Obafemi Awolowo University with proceeds from her thrift business, only to be left behind when his music career blossomed.
The drama intensified when Asake’s father echoed the sentiment, claiming to have also been neglected despite his failing health.
Following the wave of backlash, Asake took steps to mend the fractured relationships. He reconciled with his ailing father and pledged to take full responsibility for his medical treatment.
He also promised to buy him a new house as part of his effort to rebuild their bond.
That same month, in an unexpected emotional moment during the Flytime Music Festival, Asake reunited with his daughter Zeenat and her mother, Adijat, on stage.
