“I Gave Him Up for Adoption” – Man Sparks Online Debate Claiming to Be Asake’s Real Father
March 11, 2026A man has stirred major conversation on social media after claiming he is the biological father of Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake.
In a video currently circulating online, the unidentified man alleged that he fathered the singer while he was still a teenager but later decided to give the child up for adoption because he felt too young and unprepared to raise him.
According to the man, the decision was influenced by youthful irresponsibility and a lack of understanding of the consequences at the time. He said the child was originally named Tanimutanku before later adopting a different identity as he grew older.
He also admitted that if he had known the future success of the child, he would have chosen a different path and kept the boy in his life.
The claim has generated mixed reactions online, especially after reports recently surfaced that Asake gifted luxury cars to both his parents.
