Popular gospel singer Tope Alabi has found herself at the center of social media chatter after a video surfaced of her performing at the 60th birthday celebration of Abimbola Fashola, the former First Lady of Lagos State. The event, which exuded class and elegance, took place just days after the singer reportedly declined to perform at actress Lizzy Anjorin’s birthday celebration.
In the viral clip, Tope Alabi is seen delivering a soul-stirring performance while Abimbola Fashola danced joyfully alongside her husband, surrounded by friends and loved ones. The atmosphere radiated grace, warmth, and spiritual connection—qualities many online users have since praised.
Taking to Instagram, the gospel icon penned a heartfelt message to celebrate the milestone of the distinguished celebrant. She referred to Abimbola as a “dear mother” and offered a touching prayer for her continued blessings and long life.
“Birthday wishes to our Dear Mother, Abimbola Fashola, as she celebrated her 60th birthday yesterday.
As you step into this new age, I pray God’s blessings for you all the days of your life. May your strength continually be renewed by God, ma.
I wish you many prosperous years ahead in Jesus’ name.”
While the moment was heartwarming, the timing sparked conversations online due to the fact that Tope Alabi had recently rejected a performance at Lizzy Anjorin’s birthday party, despite reports suggesting she had already been paid.
Kemi Filani had earlier reported that Tope Alabi opted not to sing at Lizzy’s party after learning who the event was for. This led to an outburst from the actress, who publicly criticized Tope, stating she would never personally invite her nor use her money to book the gospel star. Lizzy, who is Muslim, said she didn’t expect gospel music at her event and felt disappointed by the singer’s stance—especially after standing by her during her past controversy involving Pastor Ajanaku.
Online reactions poured in following Tope Alabi’s performance at the high-profile Fashola event, with many applauding her decision to distance herself from the earlier drama and associate with what they termed “classier circles.”
Here are some of the comments:
- @Investor_ajayi: “This is the kind of people she should associate with, not that talkative.”
- @Mumcee_freshfoods: “Na who u want make one person stain her be this? Especially with her unnecessary shalaye and curses.”
- @Honeyp_store1: “Aunty Tope no hear anything. I love her.”
- @Nana_og: “She knew she had more to lose, and she was very, very aware of what that meant for her.”
- @Freshy_1980_garments: “Very demure client, demure performance. Lovely atmosphere, devoid of negativity.”
- @Zeezay10: “Aunty Tope sings only for the classy and sensible people.”
- @Ezslimib2: “She is not singing God’s song in a strange place.”
Tope Alabi’s choice to sing at the refined gathering while distancing herself from controversy appears to have struck a chord with her fans, who admire her for protecting her brand and spiritual integrity.
