Gospel singer Tope Alabi has apologized following a rift with fellow singer, Adeyinka Alaseyori.

It all started when Alabi criticized the gospel song, Oniduro mi by Alaseyori.

The video of the Alabi criticising her colleague Adeyinka Alaseyori over her popular hit song titled ‘Oniduro Mi eseun o’ made fans to lambast her.

According to Tope in the video, God isn’t her guarantor because He’s more than a guarantor.

This earned the ‘Angeli mi’ crooner lots of bashing, dragging and criticisms from social media users.

Reacting to the backlash she got, Alabi said she’s not perfect and apologized.

She wrote:

“Let Me Acknowledge That My Mistake Was That I Externalized A Personal Message In Public and I am Awfully Sorry For Doing That”.

Initially, I didn’t want to delve into the controversy over the gospel hit song, “Oniduro,” because I have intervened behind the scenes in concert with other stakeholders in gospel music ministry. However, I discovered that online media would not allow the dust to settle calmly.

I want to state that Tope Alabi, Adeyinka Adesioye a.k.a Alaseyori and Tolu Adelegan are all members of the same family of God and they belong to the same calling – singing ministry.

“Adeyinka is my daughter in ministry. Her Pastor asked me to pray for her because she took after me, which I did wholeheartedly.
Envy who? Never!

I love the girl so much.

She can confirm to you, sir, that we relate so well. God has given each of us the grace to go as far as His enablement could carry us. The atmosphere is wide enough for everyone to stretch her wings of gift without disturbing one another.”

“…..I’m not a perfect person yet, I’m still a work in progress in the hands of God. I want people to see me as a mere mortal with my own weaknesses, human frailties and as a learner in the limitless knowledge of God.

I am who I am today only by the mercy of God and the support of millions of gospel music lovers. I have no support base elsewhere outside the awesome Nigerians who feel uncomfortable with my statement.

I see the depth of anger as the measure of their love, admiration and solid support for me and for all of us in the singing ministry.

“Let me acknowledge that my mistake was that I externalised a personal message in public; and I’m awfully sorry for doing that.
…
What a creative people we are. Nigerians are awesome minds who will fashion out tension relieving stuff from every situation.
…I appreciate them all. The Bible says in Hebrew 12: 14 that we should pursue peace with everybody and holiness, those are the conditions for us to see God. This is the acceptable path for all of us to follow……”
