JUly 02, (THEWILL) – Funmi Aragbaye, veteran gospel artiste and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Gospel Musician Association of Nigeria (GOMAN), has slammed her junior colleague, Tope Alabi, for the controversial use of ‘aboru aboye’, a term commonly associated with traditional worshippers, in one of her songs.
A few days ago, one of Alabi’s song went viral, where she made use of the words, ‘Aboru Aboye’, words associated with traditional worshippers.
Reacting to the controversy, Aragbaye, said Alabi is behaving as if she is above everyone.
“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.
“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”, she stated.
Speaking further, Aragbaye blamed the media for Alabi’s success, saying despite fumbling for many years, the media has continued to promote her.
