Asake Recalls Tension With Father Over Music Career
Nigerian singer Asake has opened up about a difficult moment in his early life.
The “Amapiano” hitmaker, born Ahmed Ololade, revealed that his father did not support his decision to pursue music, creating distance between them at the time.
He explained that they were once very close, but things changed when he chose to follow his passion.
Despite his father’s disapproval, he still left home to focus on building his career.
The decision marked a turning point in his journey, as he pushed forward without family backing.
The issue later resurfaced publicly in 2025 when his father, Fatai Odunsi, accused him of neglect, sparking widespread reactions.
The situation was eventually resolved, with both sides settling their differences.
Asake’s story reflects the personal challenges behind his rise, showing the sacrifices made on the path to success.
