Asake’s ex-manager, Tunde Phoenix, slams singer for alleged neglect of sick father, plans GoFundMe
Tunde Phoenix, former manager of popular Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, widely known as Asake, has called out the artist for allegedly neglecting his ailing father, who is reportedly battling a stroke.
Phoenix vowed to launch a GoFundMe campaign to support the man’s treatment.
This comes just hours after a man identified as Fatai Odunsi, who claims to be Asake’s father, publicly sought financial assistance for his medical condition.
In a circulating video, Odunsi introduced himself as the singer’s father, stating:
“Good day, everyone. I am the biological father of Ahmed Ololade, known as Asake. The last time I saw him was in March 2022, when my illness began. If I call Asake, he doesn’t pick up. Please help me; I need your assistance.”
While Asake has yet to respond to the claim, his former manager, Tunde Phoenix, has spoken out, revealing his plans to meet with the ailing man to understand the cause of the alleged estrangement.
He also expressed his intention to set up a GoFundMe campaign to aid Odunsi’s medical expenses.
In a series of posts, Phoenix wrote: “One by one, God will reveal who they truly are. These are no longer my words. Go and pick up your father. We don’t care if he left when you were a child. In fact, I believe that man over anything you might say.”
“If you don’t, we will take on your responsibilities for you and conduct a full interview with him to reveal the truth the public deserves to know.”
“You are a public figure. Get a PR girl to put a statement together—or I will. P.S.: PR girl is a vibe. I’d definitely date her; she has a good heart but keeps bad company.”
“Operation GoFundMe for your father. Please help us locate the old man. His son refuses to listen and abandons those who once helped him.”
“Even if they left you, should you act like them when God has blessed you beyond your wildest dreams? A man’s heart reveals everything. Please, let’s find this father and get him the help he needs. These children have audacity.”
Following Phoenix’s post, concerned individuals flooded the comment section, sharing their thoughts on the unfolding situation.
