In a shocking revelation, a woman identified as Adijat has come forward, claiming that she financially supported Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake’s during his early struggles before fame. In a now-viral video, Adijat stated that she sacrificed her hard-earned money, which she saved through Ajo (a traditional thrift savings system), to assist Asake while he was still a student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ife.
According to her, Asake’s expressed gratitude during his difficult years, frequently reaching out to thank her for standing by him. However, things took a different turn after his rise to stardom. She now alleges that the singer has not only cut ties with her but has also denied acknowledging their alleged 11-year-old daughter.
Allegations of Abandonment and Denial After Fame
Adijat’s emotional account sheds light on what she describes as abandonment by the singer. She narrated an incident where her mother reached out to Asake when their daughter was about to turn five. During the conversation, he allegedly admitted to knowing about the situation but dismissed it, claiming she was forcing herself on him.
Her allegations paint a picture of betrayal, as she insists that despite standing by him in his difficult times, Asake has refused to take responsibility for their child. She further claimed that the singer actively avoided communication and even threatened to block her if she persisted in trying to contact him.
Did Asake Provide Any Financial Support?
While Adijat accuses Asake of neglect, she admitted that he once sent her ₦1 million after he gained fame. However, she emphasized that this was a one-time payment and not a consistent form of support for their alleged daughter. She expressed disappointment that, despite his financial success, Asake has not made any genuine effort to be involved in their child’s life.
The ₦1 million payment has sparked mixed reactions, with some social media users arguing that it suggests Asake acknowledged the child in some capacity. However, others argue that the amount is insignificant compared to the singer’s growing wealth and influence in the music industry.
Social Media Reactions and Public Outrage
Following the viral video, social media has been flooded with divided opinions. While some fans sympathize with Adijat’s claims, others have accused her of trying to extort the singer now that he has attained fame. Many are calling for Asake’s to publicly address the allegations, either to confirm or deny the claims.
Some commentators have pointed out that similar cases have emerged in the Nigerian music industry, where women claim to have children for famous artists, often leading to legal battles or public denials. Others argue that if Asake is indeed the father, he should step up and take responsibility rather than allow the issue to escalate further.
Asake’s Silence: What Comes Next?
As of now, Asake’s has not responded to the allegations. The singer, known for his hit songs and unique blend of Afro-fusion music, has remained silent, leading to increased speculation and curiosity among fans. With growing public interest, many are wondering if he will issue a statement, take a DNA test, or continue to ignore the accusations.
In Nigeria’s entertainment industry, paternity scandals often attract significant media attention, sometimes leading to court cases. If Adijat decides to take legal action, Asake may be compelled to respond officially. However, without a DNA test, the controversy remains a case of conflicting narratives.
Legal and Ethical Implications: What This Means for Asake
Beyond the personal drama, the allegations against Asake raise important legal and ethical questions. If proven true, the singer could face legal action for child neglect under Nigerian law. Child support cases involving celebrities have, in the past, resulted in court-ordered financial responsibilities or public reputational damage.
For now, the ball remains in Asake’s court. Whether he chooses to clarify, deny, or ignore the situation, the controversy is already generating significant buzz in the media. If the allegations persist, this could impact his public image and brand endorsements in the long run.
