Khadijat, who is widely known as the baby mama of popular Nigerian singer Asake, has recently been seen by many people selling and roasting corn by the roadside in Lagos, which has sparked widespread reactions and discussions on social media platforms.
In a video clip that was uploaded on X (formerly known as Twitter) by user @Hybrid_Ola, Khadijat can be clearly seen standing beside the road with a tray full of roasted corn, actively selling to different passersby and engaging with customers. Her appearance has drawn significant attention, as many people did not expect to see her engaging in such a humble hustle.
This development follows previous accusations against Asake, where he was publicly criticized for allegedly neglecting his father and Khadijat despite his increasing fame, wealth, and luxurious lifestyle. Many fans had expressed disappointment that he was not providing adequate support to those close to him.
At the time of writing this report, the singer Asake has not yet issued any official statement regarding the viral video of Khadijat or addressed the criticisms being directed towards him online.
The video has rapidly gone viral, amassing thousands of views and generating heated debates among Nigerians. While some people have shown sympathy towards Khadijat and criticized Asake for allegedly abandoning her, others have praised her for engaging in honest work despite her situation.
