A man has stirred controversy on social media after claiming he is the biological father of Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Asake , alleging that he gave the singer up for adoption years ago. In a video circulating online, the man said he fathered the child when he was still very young and not financially stable. According to him, the difficult circumstances at the time forced him to give the baby away for adoption, a decision he now says he regrets. “I was not responsible then. I was still very young and couldn’t take care of the child, so I gave him up for adoption,” the man reportedly said in the emotional clip. He further claimed that the child he gave up eventually grew up to become the globally recognized Afrobeats star known today as Asake , whose real name is Ahmed Ololade. The man has since appealed publicly to the singer, asking him to reconnect with him and offer support, saying he now wants to rebuild the relationship he lost years ago. However, the claims have sparked widespread debate online, with many fans questioning the authenticity of the story and calling for evidence to support the allegations. So far, has not publicly responded to the claims, leaving the situation unverified and largely driven by speculation on social media. Asake rose to international fame with hit songs and chart-topping albums, quickly becoming one of Africa’s most influential Afrobeats artists. His unique blend of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Fuji influences has earned him a massive following across the continent and beyond. Until an official response or confirmation emerges, the man’s claim remains an unproven allegation that continues to generate curiosity and debate among fans.
