A man who claims to be the father of Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Asake, has come forward seeking financial assistance from the public after suffering a stroke. In a recent video circulating on social media, the elderly man, appearing frail and distressed, pleaded for support to help cover his medical expenses and aid his recovery.
According to him, he has been battling serious health challenges for some time, and the stroke has left him unable to work or provide for himself. He expressed disappointment over what he described as neglect from Asake, stating that despite the singer’s growing success and wealth, he has not received any form of assistance from him. The man further revealed that he has reached out to Asake multiple times but has not gotten any response.
His claims have sparked widespread debate on social media, with fans divided over the situation. While some have sympathized with the man and called on Asake to respond to his plight, others have urged caution, questioning the legitimacy of his claims. Some users pointed out that similar cases have surfaced in the past, where individuals falsely claimed to be related to celebrities for financial gain.
