A veteran gospel artiste, Funmi Aragbaye, has revealed that the Nigerian media can best be credited for the success of her collague, Tope Alabi, in the gospel music industry.
Aragbaye, while reacting to the controversy trailing the recent viral video of fellow gospel artiste, Tope Alabi, where she sang using Yoruba words associated with greetings by Ifa worshipers, also said the latter is behaving as if she is above God.
Aragbaye stated that Alabi believes she is above everyone and even God.
She said, ”Tope Alabi believes she is above everyone and God. She is not a member of GOMAN, nor is she a member of any other gospel association. She believes she is too much for it. She doesn’t belong to anyone; she is neither here nor there.
“The current state of the country is why many act the way they do. People take God for granted for being so merciful. Many people today are just worshiping God with their mouths; it doesn’t come from their hearts.
“If you speak with Pastor Bola Are, she will tell you the same thing. Most people preaching do not know what they are preaching about. They emerged from nowhere onto the scene.”
Aragbaye blamed the media for Alabi’s success, saying despite ”fumbling for many years, the media continues to promote her.”
The 69yr old veteran’s debut album titled Olorun Igbala, along with Sioni Ilu Ayo were released in 1983 and have gone on to be evergreen.
