Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has reconnected with his daughter, Zeenat, and baby mama, Adijat, during the 2025 Christmas celebration in Lagos.

A video circulating on X on December 25, 2025, captured the emotional moment and quickly went viral across social media platforms.

Asake's family dispute

The reunion followed events from March 2025, when Adijat publicly accused Asake of neglecting their daughter for six years.

She claimed the singer abandoned Zeenat after his rise to fame, despite her supporting him financially during his university days.

Adijat revealed in an interview that she funded Asake's education at Obafemi Awolowo University through her thrift business. She stated that their daughter was born during this period, with Asake's father helping with childcare.

According to Adijat, everything changed when Zeenat turned seven. She claimed Asake moved to Lekki after graduation, stopped answering calls, and cut off communication entirely.

The accusations surfaced alongside another family crisis involving Asake's father, Fatai Odunsi. His father publicly accused him of abandonment whilst battling a stroke.

Shortly after the public outcry, Asake reconciled with his ailing father in March 2025. The singer promised to cover all medical bills and purchase a new house for him.

Reports from that period indicated that Asake also agreed to take full responsibility for Zeenat.

"It's beautiful to see family bonds being healed. Wishing them peace, love, and countless happy memories together."

@Judecstephen opined:

"There is something quietly revolutionary about watching a superstar return to the most human of roles. In a world that applauds sold out arenas louder than present fathers, Asake's reunion feels like a soft rebellion against celebrity amnesia. Lagos has seen many stars shine, but it pauses a little longer when responsibility walks in wearing humility."

@pythondevv reacted:

"Are you kidding me? How sure are you the kid is his? I've said it several times, these artistes should be taking the DNA test before taking any responsibility."

@iamokamas1 said:

"Pretty important he connects with his daughter and the mother, nobody knows what the future holds. Asake appear to be a responsible person and I'm sure he is taking good care of the daughter and possibly extending hand to the baby mama as well."
