‘My father didn’t support my music career’ – Asake
Nigerian Singer Asake Opens Up on His Father's Disapproval of His Music Career Asake, the talented Nigerian singer known for hits like 'Sungba' and 'Peace Be Unto You', recently shared a personal story about his relationship with his father. In a candid interview with Korty EO, a popular YouTuber, Asake revealed that his father strongly opposed his decision to pursue a career in music. Asake's close relationship with his father became strained when he informed him of his desire to leave home and chase his music dreams. Not only did his father disapprove of the decision, but he also asked Asake to stay back. However, the young singer chose to disobey his father's wishes and left home to pursue his passion. This bold move led to a significant change in their relationship, making it cold for a while. But, as many Nigerians would know, family ties run deep, and Asake and his father eventually made amends. It's heartwarming to note that Asake took responsibility for his father's welfare, showing that even in the midst of disagreements, family love can prevail. It's worth recalling that Asake's father, Fatai Odunsi, made headlines in March 2025 when he publicly accused his son of neglect and abandonment. This incident sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Nigerians offering their opinions on the matter. Thankfully, the situation was resolved, and the two are now on good terms once again. Asake's story serves as a reminder that following one's passion, no matter the obstacles, is essential for success. It's also a testament to the importance of family reconciliation and taking care of one's loved ones. As a nation, we can learn from Asake's experience and appreciate the value of family bonds, even when we disagree.
