Old video of Asake gifting father car, house in 2023 goes viral amid public feud over abandonment claims

An old video showing Nigerian singer Asake gifting his father, Fatai Odunsi (also known as Malo), a car and a house in 2023 has gone viral, sparking intense reactions online amid the ongoing public feud between the two.
The controversy began when Malo publicly accused Asake of abandoning him despite his success in the music industry.
In a viral video, Asake’s father was seen calling for assistance and expressing his disappointment in his son’s lack of support.
However, the recent resurfacing of a different video, in which Asake’s father is seen being celebrated and hailed by a group of young men, paints a different picture.
Reports suggest that, after achieving fame, Asake bought his father both a house and a car in 2023, seemingly contradicting the abandonment claims.
The video, shared by the music blog TooXclusive, was accompanied by the caption: “Asake apparently never abandoned his father. It was reported that he even bought him a car and a house as far back as 2023 when he blew up as an artist. Hmmmm.”
This new footage has led many to question the nature of their relationship, with some fans speculating that the accusations may be a result of manipulation.
Asake recently addressed the situation, confirming that Fatai Odunsi is indeed his father, but refuted the claims of neglect, stating that he has consistently provided financial support despite the ongoing allegations.
