A Nigerian man, Fatai Odunsi, who is claiming to be the father of popular singer, Asake, has appealed to the public for financial assistance, citing severe health challenges.
In a now-viral video, which started trending on Friday, the elderly man revealed that he has been battling stroke since 2022.
He claimed that since his illness, he has been unable to reach Asake, stating that the singer has repeatedly ignored his calls.
“I am the father to Asake who is singing. The last time I saw him was when this thing happened to me on March 29, 2022.
“He does not pick up my calls anytime I call him. Now I have become tired. I have been looking for this my brother and I recently met with him,” he said.
Odunsi appeared in the video alongside a man identified as Sonibare, who introduced himself as his brother.
According to Sonibare, Odunsi gave him permission to share his story online in hopes of receiving help.
“As I said earlier, his name is Fatai Odunsi. He is the one who gave birth to Asake whom every one of us knows as Ololade Mr Money. We need the help of Nigerians because he is now broke.
“I have done the best I could as a person. That is why I am coming to you Nigerians to come to our aid. Whatever amount you can give, even if it is N1 please help him out. I do not want him to die young. We all will not die young too.
“I am not just doing what I am doing. I sought permission from him before doing it. He has been looking for me for a while to put him on social media.
“We needed to come to the public to ask for help because we no longer have the money,” he said.
