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.

The much-anticipated historical epic, King Kosoko, The Battle for Lagos, has premiered in Lagos, bringing together traditional rulers, cultural custodians, Nollywood stars and other distinguished guests for a night dedicated to history, heritage and Yoruba culture.
The world premiere was held on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at IMAX Cinema, Lekki, ahead of the film’s nationwide cinema release scheduled for Friday, August 28.

The film explores the political struggles surrounding Lagos, its relationship with the Benin Empire, competition over trade and influence, as well as the wider impact of external forces during the colonial era.
The production also examines the intersection of regional politics, trade and the transatlantic slave trade while portraying the struggle to preserve Yoruba identity and the sovereignty of Lagos.
At the centre of the story is Oba Kosoko, whose leadership, political strategy and resistance to opposing forces are portrayed against a backdrop of rivalry, betrayal and shifting alliances.
Directed by Adebayo Tijani, the film was produced by Ayo Ajayi and Segun Ololo Kosoko, with Marc Adebesin serving as co-producer.
The ensemble cast includes Femi Adebayo, Tina Mba, Odunlade Adekola, Femi Branch, Jide Kosoko, Yinka Quadri, Dele Odule, Gabriel Afolayan, Adeniyi Johnson, Sola Kosoko, Aisha Lawal and Kola Ajeyemi, among other performers.

Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Kola, has revealed that he has not been lucky with love.
Speaking ahead of the reunion, which premiered on Monday night, Kola said he has had a rough love journey.
According to him, love has shown him “shege.”
He, however, said he is grateful to have experienced love.
“Love has shown me shege. The funny thing is that some people die without never falling in love. So, the joy is that every time you fall in love, you should be happy that you are in love because not everyone gets to experience it,” he said.
DAILY POST recalls that during the show, Kola was famous for relentlessly expressing his love for Dede, who never reciprocated.
After the show, Dede said she still wouldn’t have considered Kola even if she doesn’t have a boyfriend outside.
She explained that the Canada-based businessman was not her ideal man.
