A heartwarming new image of Afrobeats sensation Asake and his father, Fatai Odunsi, has confirmed the successful mending of their once-fractured relationship. The photo, which surfaced online on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, depicts the duo in a serene setting, signaling an end to a highly publicized family dispute.
From Public Accusations to Private Reconciliation
The road to this peaceful moment was rocky. Earlier in 2025, Asake faced intense public criticism after his father, Mr. Odunsi, publicly accused him of neglect. The elder Odunsi, while battling a stroke, claimed his famous son had abandoned him in his time of need. This accusation sparked a significant outcry on social media and in the Nigerian press.
Compounding the singer's troubles, his baby mama, Adijat, also came forward with allegations. She claimed Asake had abandoned their daughter, Zeenat, for six years following his rapid rise to fame. Adijat further stated that she had financially supported his university education at Obafemi Awolowo University from her thrift business proceeds, only to be left behind when his music career took off.
Steps Toward Healing and Responsibility
In response to the backlash, Asake took decisive action to repair the damaged relationships. In March 2025, he reconciled with his ailing father and made a crucial pledge. The "Lonely at the Top" crooner committed to taking full responsibility for his father's medical treatment and bills. As a further gesture to rebuild their bond, he promised to purchase a brand new, luxurious home for him.
Reports now confirm that the singer has followed through on these promises. Asake has reportedly taken over all his father's medical expenses and completed the purchase of the new home, fulfilling his commitment from the earlier reconciliation.
In a parallel move toward family unity, Asake also had an emotional on-stage reunion with his daughter Zeenat and her mother, Adijat, during the Flytime Music Festival in the same month of March 2025.
Social Media Celebrates the Reconciliation
The new photo of Asake and his father has generated positive reactions from fans and social media users, who are celebrating the resolution of the family conflict.
User @fujamorry commented: "Malo Fatti long may live, thank you Lameda, Almighty Ta’Allah will continue to pave ways for you, with this am super happy. Lameda, barayewu!"
Another user, @ayindebj, wrote: "A win for one man is a win for all men. May you continue to eat the fruit of your labour Baba."
Some comments also highlighted the role of a third party in facilitating the peace. User @maserere_olufunke shared: "Nobody is talking about the genuine & truthful man behind his reconciliation with his family @lala_dapo nah man you be."
The reconciliation story stands in contrast to another recent incident involving the singer. Legit.ng had earlier reported that a lady known as Lojare tragically died during a stampede at Asake's sold-out concert at Nyayo Stadium in Kenya.
The resolution of Asake's family drama marks a significant personal chapter for the artist, shifting the narrative from one of public familial discord to one of responsibility and reconciliation.
