The family of Afrobeats superstar Asake has broken silence on the ongoing controversy surrounding the singer and a man claiming to be his father, Fatai Odunsi.

Odunsi made a public appeal for financial assistance due to his deteriorating health, claiming Asake had ignored his calls despite sending him money in the past.

Asake responded with a cryptic message but his family has now accused him of neglecting his daughter, Zeenat, and her mother.

They urged Asake to take responsibility for his father’s welfare and offered to conduct a DNA test to determine Zeenat’s paternity.

The family said: “I am begging you, Ololade Mr Money, he shoild come and do the needful.

“I’m begging you, Ololade Mr. Money. Even if Nigerians donate ₦10bn to this man, just ₦1m from Asake would make him happier.

“Please take care of your father. If you don’t want to support him directly, buy him a house in Isale Eko where he can earn rent to survive.

“In this Isale Eko, you can see house of ₦40m, ₦50m that you can build that this man can be collecting rent.

“Also, if you are in doubt about Zeenat, the mother has agreed to a DNA test.”
