A Nigerian man who claims to have been the nursery school teacher of popular singer Ahmed Ololade, widely known as Asake, has broken his silence amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the artist and his family.
The controversy began when Asake’s father made a public plea, revealing that he was suffering from a stroke and seeking assistance from his son. The emotional appeal quickly gained traction, sparking widespread discussions online.
In response, Asake shared a video on social media, which many interpreted as a mockery of the situation, as he neither confirmed nor denied his father’s claims nor directly addressed the plea for help.
As more details about Asake’s family history surfaced online, reports emerged that his mother allegedly abandoned him when he was just three years old, leaving him solely in the care of his father. This revelation added another layer to the ongoing debate about his family dynamics.
Amid the social media uproar, a man claiming to be Asake’s former nursery school teacher came forward with new insights into the singer’s childhood. He claimed to have left a note on Asake’s old report card that reportedly corroborated the claims of his mother’s absence while his father raised him single-handedly.
Taking to Facebook, the alleged teacher shared a post recounting his personal experiences with Asake and his father. According to him, Asake’s father was a kind and devoted man who took full responsibility for raising his son while his mother moved on and married another musician.
He described how Asake’s father consistently ensured his son’s well-being, and despite the challenges, he remained committed to providing a stable upbringing for him.
He wrote:
“One fact about Malo, Ashake’s father, is that he was a very nice man—not just to his son but to everyone, including me as his alleged nursery school teacher. Malo never walked alone; he was always surrounded by people.”
“He was a caring father who raised his son alone after Ashake’s mother got married to Musibau Alani, also known as Omokekere. Although she visited him in school occasionally, Ashake lived with his father, not his mother.”
“My brother, Musibau Olawale Ajose, was the proprietor of the school. We taught Ashake how to write ABCs and three-letter words. When he turned five, my brother enrolled him at Ebute Ero Primary School.”
“To those in Mushin making claims they know nothing about, fear God. I know Ashake inside out, as well as his parents.”
“Hazan Sars was his senior in nursery school, while Hazan’s younger brother, Shakiru, was in the same class as Ashake. If you don’t know the real story, stay out of it and leave the matter to us islanders.”
The teacher’s statements have further fueled discussions on social media, with many users debating the validity of his claims and questioning the true nature of Asake’s family struggles.
Meanwhile, Asake and his mother have remained silent on the matter, neither confirming nor refuting the allegations. However, the controversy continues to unfold, drawing widespread reactions online.
