Nigerian artist Ahmed Ololade, widely known as Asake, has opened up about his father’s initial disapproval of his music career.

In a recent conversation with YouTuber Korty EO, the “Sungba” singer shared that their once-close relationship became strained after his father opposed his decision to pursue music.

Asake admitted that he defied his father’s wishes and left home to follow his passion.

“My dad and I were very close when I was younger. But when I wanted to step out and do what I do now, he said ‘No.’ I still went ahead,” he revealed.

GistLover notes that back in March 2025, Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi, made headlines for accusing the singer of neglect and abandonment.

After public reactions and discussions, father and son reconciled, with Asake stepping up to support his father’s needs.
