Alhaji Musibau Alani, a legendary musician from Fuji, has denied rumors circulating on social media that he took Fali, the mother of renowned afrobeats artist Asake, from her estranged husband, Mr. Odunsi, affectionately known as Malo.
Asake’s stepfather, the Stand Well Well singer, acknowledged in a discussion that he was married to the singer’s mother in a marriage that had three children, two of which are late, but he denied stealing her from another guy.
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.
