Revered Nigerian gospel singer, Tope Alabi has reacted after a certain fan called her out in a video which went viral on social media where she was captured dancing ‘Zanku’ at her father’s burial.
Some conservative Christians, who called out the gospel singer, said she is deviating from who she was 10 years ago.
A Facebook user, Adeniji Aderogba wrote: “This is Evangelist Tope Alabi oo.. What is this world turns to for God sake. The Tope Alabi I knew 10 years ago is totally different from this one. Hmmmm Ogun Esu gbe ‘bon o!”
In her reaction, Alabi who was a guest on TVC’s “Wakeup Nigeria”, Tope Alabi stated that she needed that dance at that time. According to the gospel singer, she was dancing at her father’s burial and people with “spiritual eyes” will understand its meaning.
“In a nutshell, I needed that dance. It was at my father’s burial. The praise was organised by my gospel artiste friends after the wake keep. I just needed it. A lot of people don’t have the privilege to bury their parents. If you are spiritual you would know that as a spirit being , I needed that dance”.
