Veteran Fuji musician, Musibau Alani, who is also the stepfather to Afrobeats singer, Asake, has denied allegations that he snatched Asake’s mother, Fali, from his father, Odunsi, also known as Malo.
This clarification is coming after he was called out Odunsi for abandoning him when he fell ill.
Musibau claimed he met Fali as a single mother, already separated from Malo, and married her, taking care of Asake and having three children with her.
He also stated that Malo thanked him for taking care of Asake when they met later on.
Confirming his marriage to Asake’s mother in a media chat, Musibau said the union produced three children, though two are now deceased.
Recounting how he met and married Asake’s mother, he said “I met Fali as a single mother; she was already separated from her husband, whom I didn’t know at the time. We got along, and she moved in with me along with her son, Ahmed. I trained the boy.”
He also spoke about what transpired when he met Asake’s father on a later date after he’d married Fali.
He said, “I eventually met her ex-husband, Malo, who was working at a council in Lagos Island. The day he saw me there, he told his colleagues to thank me for taking good care of his son, Asake.
“For the record, I did not snatch Fali from her first husband, neither was I present nor played at Asake’s naming ceremony.”
