Popular gospel singer Tope Alabi is currently trending online after reports surfaced that she refused to perform at Lizzy Anjorin’s surprise birthday celebration—despite allegedly being paid for the gig.
According to viral claims, Tope Alabi was booked to sing at Lizzy’s party on Friday, but upon arriving at the venue and realizing the controversial actress was the celebrant, she reportedly backed out of the performance entirely.
Social Media Divided Over Tope’s Alleged Refusal
The incident quickly became a hot topic online, with fans and critics taking sides. While some praised the gospel singer for taking a stand, others questioned why she would accept the booking in the first place if she had reservations.
Reactions online have been a mix of support and confusion:
• @Beebs_amala: “But the two of them no get clash na. Why she carry another person battle for head?”
• @Motolani_Arike: “Way to go! How can Tope Alabi sing for someone who curses children openly?”
• @Rhksoflagos: “Lizzy go do werey for aunty Tope o. We are waiting!”
• @Hyrishtheebigdeal: “And Lizzy na huge fan of mummy oo. I’m sure there’s a solid reason sha.”
Lizzy Anjorin Speaks on Her Reputation
This drama isn’t new territory for Lizzy Anjorin. In a past interview with Chude Jideonwo, she addressed her reputation for conflict, claiming she doesn’t go after anyone unless provoked. She argued that her public spats are always triggered by her colleagues and that she avoids unnecessary drama due to her reputation as both an actress and businesswoman.
A Long-Running Feud with Iyabo Ojo
Many believe Tope Alabi’s refusal may also be connected to Lizzy’s strained relationship with actress Iyabo Ojo. The pair have been embroiled in a public feud for over two years, one that saw Lizzy accuse Iyabo of promiscuity and Iyabo filing a N500 million defamation suit in response. Although the court later mediated peace between them, tensions have never fully died down.
Final Thoughts
While Tope Alabi is yet to release an official statement, her alleged refusal has sparked conversations about the responsibilities of public figures, personal convictions, and boundaries—especially in the entertainment space.
Was Tope’s decision spiritually guided or professionally uncalled for? One thing is certain—Nigerian social media is watching closely.
