Remember when Asake’s father publicly called him out for neglect last year?
The internet never forgets. But guess what just happened? Asake silenced every critic by gifting both his parents luxury cars worth over ₦400 million combined.
The Backstory of Asake and his father
In March 2025, Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi (known as Malo), made headlines for all the wrong reasons. A video went viral showing the stroke survivor publicly appealing for help and accusing his famous son of abandoning him.
“I am suffering from a partial stroke and need assistance,” Odunsi said in the emotional clip. He claimed that Asake had neglected him despite his rising fame and fortune. The internet exploded. Fans and even some celebrities urged Asake to reconcile with his family.
Asake denied the claims, saying he had been sending money to his father regularly. But the damage was done. The conversation about his relationship with his parents became a public debate.
Asake Buys Different Cars for his Parents
Well, after a while, the drama around Asake and father faded, and everyone moved on to the next news.
However, in early March 2026, Asake surprised his mother with a brand new Mercedes-AMG G63 worth approximately ₦311 million. The luxury SUV came as a Ramadan gift.
A viral video captured the emotional moment. His mother embraced her son tightly when she realized the sleek white vehicle was hers. She test-drove the car while chatting happily with her superstar son.
But then the internet started asking questions: “What about his father?” The old accusations resurfaced. The debate got heated.
Asake and his father remained silent through all the noise.
However, on Friday, March 6, 2026, just days after the G-Wagon gift, another video surfaced online.
This time, Asake was standing with his father next to a brand new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, valued at approximately ₦130 million.
The video didn’t have audio, but the emotion was clear. Fatai Odunsi appeared visibly moved as he received the unexpected gift from his son. Asake later re-shared the clip on his Instagram Story.
Without saying a word, Asake had answered every critic.
An interview with Asake and Korty EO
During an interview with Asake and Korty EO Laseke, he shared that his love for his father remains the same, just like the love he has for his mother, despite the distance between them. He explained that even though they didn’t always live together, his father still means a lot to him.
He also spoke about leaving home at 15 to pursue his dreams, noting that while they were once very close, life took a different turn. According to him, everything happened as part of God’s plan, guiding him forward no matter what.
More Than the Cars
Asake didn’t just buy two expensive cars. He made a public statement about family, forgiveness, and moving forward.
After a year of public accusations and online debates, he chose to honor both his parents. Whether his father was absent during his childhood or not.
The cars are symbols. They represent a son who made it big and didn’t forget where he came from. They show a young man who listened to criticism and responded with action instead of words. Sometimes, what matters is just how you show up for your loved ones.
