It was also said that he was soliciting funds from the public to be able to take care of his health.

Conflicting reports also emerged about the father, Malo’s involvement in the singer’s life.

While some quarters reported that Asake was abandoned by his dad as a child, many other reports countered the claim and noted that Malo was very present in the singer’s life and that his mother who abandoned him and came back was the one getting all the love.

A Facebook user, Segun Ben-Ajayi, also shut down the claims of Asake’s father being a deadbeat.

According to him, Malo was a good father to Asake and was never an absentee father. It was claimed that the old man singlehandedly raised the music star when his mother left at the age of three.

Ben-Ajayi added that ironically, Asake now enjoys his success with his mum who abandoned him and even adopted her name as his stage name.

“Na this kind talk I no like… if he chooses to forgive and care for him fine… but nobody has the flipping right to cast judgment if he chooses not to care for a flipping dead beat… energy for energy, eye for an eye 😒.”

@Dewunmi Lagos:
“Even if any of your parents weren’t around, I have learnt even with the little you have, take care of them. Leave the judgement to God! But this case? Wetin me sef Dey see about Asake since that 2022 no soft rara! Infact, I’m aware he hardly picks Yemholee’s calls again.”

@Akpan Udo Etukudoekpoakpanukpong:
“Dear men, Live the life of your youth to the fullest but prepare for old age. Don’t bank on your kids as your retirement plan because there are no guarantees, really and truly. Yours sincerely.”

@Casmir Ejike Okoli:
“The said Asake must be a yeye person to abandon his father. I know how women try to manipulate children but Asake should have known better by now. If he fails to adjust immediately he will suffer worse from women and his own children.”

@Ogunlade L Ebunoluwa:
“Prosperity will judge Asake , having read from people who knew him back in the days ,and the track record of how his Father was solidly a pillar of support. I saw so many of my fender saying all sort of things yesterday, because as usual na only man be dead beat. Some of them do worse. Even if the man is dead beat, and I’m a position to help, I will do the best I can for him, leaving him to his fate thereafter, just that I cannot be close to him.”

@Jumpsuit_magazine:
“If he’s a product of a single mother then he has every right to ignore who he wants to ignore. You can’t abandon a child, contributing nothing to his life then come back late with a Stoopid sense of entitlement and manipulation of “I gave you life” because he made it in life. I’m sure he has other children too.”

Abiketheicon:
“Is Asake his only child? Was he there for him? He abandoned him, so he should deal with it and go meet the people that he was there for in his prime.”

@Bewa____ji:
“Help helper helpest.”

@ ____vinda:
“Had it been he didn’t turned out to be great will he reach out.”

@bizzychic:
“Asake struggled and survived, let his father struggle too and survive. Na who give up (the ghost) lose. The burial go sha loud.”
