I didn’t snatch Asake’s mother from her husband -Musibau Alani

Legendary Fuji musician, Alhaji Musibau Alani has refuted rumours spreading on social media that he snatched Fali, the mother of famous afrobeats musician Asake from her estranged husband, Mr Odunsi, fondly called Malo.

In a chat, the Stand Well Well crooner, who is Asake’s step-father confirmed that he was married to the singer’s mother in a union that produced three kids, two of which are late, but denied snatching her from any man.

Following heated allegations of neglect from Mr Odunsi against Asake, social media was agog with rumours that Alani was responsible for the breakup between the singer’s parents.

Some also alleged that the veteran Fuji musician was on the band stand during Asake’s naming ceremony. But Musibau Alani has said there’s no iota of truth in all the rumours.

According to him, “I met Fali as a single mother, she was already separated from her husband, whom I didn’t know at that point in time. We got along and she moved in with me with her son Ahmed (Asake). I trained the boy.

“I later met her ex-husband, Malo who was working at a council in Lagos Island then. The day he saw me at the council, he was even telling his colleagues to thank me for taking good care of his son Ahmed. For the records, I did not snatch Fali from her first husband, and I did not play or attend Asake’s naming ceremony,” Alani stated.

Controversial singer Portable apologises to Saheed Osupa over copyright dispute

Controversial hip-hop artist, Portable, has publicly apologised to Fuji musician, King Saheed Osupa, for referring to him as “big for nothing.” The apology comes after Portable faced widespread criticism for his disrespectful remarks towards the Fuji legend.

The dispute began when Portable used a line from King Saheed’s song in one of his tracks, leading to allegations of copyright infringement. Osupa’s distribution team reportedly filed a complaint, resulting in the removal of Portable’s song from major streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, Portable expressed regret for his earlier outburst, attributing his actions to his temperament. He appealed to his fans and King Saheed Osupa for forgiveness, acknowledging the role of financial disputes in the conflict.

“My fans, I’m a hot-tempered person. I have said my mind, and it has ended. My fans, please forgive me. King Saheed Osupa, Oba Orin, please don’t be offended. It’s money that causes fights. It’s money that destroys relationships between siblings and even between father and son. It was music money that caused our fight because it was when I went to collect money for the song that I was told it had been removed from streaming platforms. Please, my daddy, forgive me and accept me as your child,” Portable pleaded.

VIDEO: Asake reconciles with father, promises to purchase house, cover medical bills

Nigerian music star Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has promised to purchase a house for his father, Fatai Odunsi, and cover his medical expenses.

This comes just days after Odunsi publicly accused Asake of abandoning him since his health started declining in 2022.

Odunsi, who has been battling stroke, alleged that despite Asake’s fame and fortune, he had not been financially supportive.

However, in a new video released on Sunday, Odunsi confirmed that his son has now reached out to him.

Speaking in Yoruba, he expressed pride in Asake and showered him with prayers.

He added that he called out Asake because it had been a long time since he saw him.

He further revealed that Asake has instructed real estate agents to find him a new home, saying “Asake said he will do everything that I want. We have settled, no more problems. They are now looking for a new house that he will buy for me. He has settled everything.”

Additionally, Odunsi confirmed that Asake has agreed to take full responsibility for his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat.

Odunsi said: “He has never denied his child, but he has now promised to take full responsibility for the child.”

He also mentioned that he would be going to the hospital the next day, as Asake had sent him all the necessary funds for his treatment.
