Oyogist has learned that international singer, Bukola Elemide a.k.a Asa has revealed that her father abused her mother and it haunted her for years.

The 39 Yr old singer made this known during a chat with popular TV host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

She said her late dad who was a cinematographer would often abuse her mother and deal an excessively harsh hand on his kids.

“He’s austere and disciplined. I take those but what I’m not is the way he brought us up. He was a disciplinarian and, yes, abusive to my mum. With the kids, he overdid it to keep us straight. It was too confusing,” she said.

“You love and then hate. I found myself unsteady around him. I saw him abuse my mum. It disturbed me for years. I thought all men were like that for a while until my grandfather who has been with his wife for 50 years said no.

“I told my mum, ‘hey, woman, what are you doing here? You need to leave’. I was a little girl and she didn’t listen. I thought, if this is it, I don’t want to get married. Looking back, I don’t think they were compatible”.
