Ahmed Ololade, Nigerian singer popularly known as Asake, has disclosed that his father strongly opposed his music career .
In a recent interview with YouTuber, Korty EO, the Sungba crooner recalled that his relationship became cold after his father went against his decision to pursue a music career.
He added that he disobeyed his father by absconding from him to chase his dream.
My dad and I were so close when I was younger. But it got to a time when I wanted to leave home to do what I’m doing now but my father said ‘No.’ I left regardless,” he said.
In March 2025, Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi, made headlines after he accused the singer of neglect .
However, following the heavy backlash, Asake and his father patched things up, with the singer taking responsibility for his dad’s welfare.
