Fatai Odunsi, father of Nigerian music star Asake, is currently receiving medical treatment at a specialist hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos. According to reports, a team of Chinese medical experts is managing his care.
A neighbor from Iga Idunganran, Isale Eko, where Odunsi spent his childhood, confirmed to Sunday Scoop that the singer’s father had been admitted to the facility. The neighbor, who had previously assisted a journalist in locating the family’s residence, stated that further updates on Odunsi’s health would be available by evening.
In a recent development, a reliable source from Asake’s management, speaking on the condition of anonymity, addressed the situation, describing it as an “oversight” but assuring that Asake has been fulfilling his family obligations. The source added that the artist has consistently provided financial support for both his father and his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat. However, the source could not confirm whether Asake would rekindle his relationship with Zeenat’s mother or offer her any financial assistance.
Earlier, Fatai Odunsi had appeared in a video where he spoke about reconciling with his son. He revealed that Asake had promised to purchase a house for him and cover his medical expenses. Real estate agents are reportedly in the process of selecting a suitable property for Odunsi. Despite the emotional reunion between father and son, the video made no mention of Asake’s intentions regarding his past relationship with Zeenat’s mother.
While uncertainties remain about Asake’s relationship with his daughter’s mother, the management source reaffirmed that the situation with his father had been resolved. They emphasized that the artist had taken responsibility for his father’s well-being and is actively fulfilling his commitments.
This gesture has been praised by fans, with many commending Asake for stepping up during a challenging time. Despite his demanding music career, Asake’s dedication to his family highlights his personal growth and sense of responsibility.
