Popular Nigerian musician, Asake, has finally reconciled with his father, his daughter and baby mama.

The reconciliation move came after he was called out online for abandoning them after he became rich and famous.

Asake was heavily criticised earlier in 2025, after his baby mama, Adijat accused him of neglect despite standing by him when he had nothing.

In March 2025, Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi, who is a stroke survivor, also called him out for abandoning him.

Following the backslash from netizens, including some celebrities, Asake reached out to his father and promised to finance his medical bills and also buy him a house.

However, a trending photo of the singer with his father, which surfaced online on Friday morning, signaled a return to harmony.

This came a few days after Asake reunited with his daughter and his baby mama.
