Man alleges he is Asake’s real father: 'I gave him up for adoption'

A man has sparked widespread discussion on social media after alleging that he is the biological father of Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake.

The claim emerged in a video circulating widely on X (formerly Twitter), in which the man recounted what he described as a long-kept personal story involving the popular musician.

In the video, he stated that he became a father while still a teenager but eventually gave the child up for adoption because he felt too young and unprepared to raise a child at the time.

Reflecting on that decision, the man admitted that he did not fully grasp the consequences of his actions when he made the choice.

He further claimed that the child was initially given the name Tanimutanku, but later adopted a different identity as he grew older. According to him, the boy eventually distanced himself from his biological family and went on to become the global music star now known as Asake.

The video surfaced shortly after reports circulated online suggesting that the singer had recently surprised both his father and mother with luxury vehicles reportedly worth millions.

During his narration, the man acknowledged that his earlier decision was influenced by youthful irresponsibility. He added that if he had known how life would unfold, he would have made a very different choice.
