Nigerian actress Lizzy Anjorin has opened up about her admiration for gospel singer Tope Alabi, revealing that it is the primary reason she distanced herself from fellow artist Yinka Alaseyori. Lizzy, in a candid video, explained that her loyalty to Tope Alabi led her to avoid listening to Yinka’s music and even to decline an invitation to an award event in Canada where Yinka was scheduled to perform.
“I don’t hate Yinka, but I was just being loyal to Sis Tope,” Lizzy said in the video. She further explained that her admiration for Tope Alabi was the driving force behind her decision to avoid playing Yinka Alaseyori’s songs on her page. Lizzy emphasized that her actions were not rooted in animosity but in a deep sense of respect and loyalty to Tope Alabi, who she considers a role model.
Lizzy also reflected on her personal support for Tope Alabi during a recent online controversy involving the gospel singer. Despite advice from her team to refrain from taking sides, Lizzy chose to show her solidarity by playing Tope Alabi’s songs during the debacle, proving her unwavering support for the singer.
The actress did not hide her disappointment, however, at Tope Alabi’s silence in the wake of a surprise birthday celebration that Lizzy had hoped would be acknowledged by the gospel star. Lizzy explained that the surprise was planned in Tope’s honor, and she had hoped for a gesture of appreciation from the singer, which, according to her, was never forthcoming.
“I played my song in support of Sis Tope when she was being dragged for not allowing her daughter’s father at her wedding,” Lizzy added. She revealed that even though her team advised against it, she stood firm in showing public support for Tope Alabi.
This revelation comes as Lizzy Anjorin continues to express her deep admiration for the gospel singer, despite the ongoing challenges and controversies surrounding her. Lizzy’s comments have sparked conversations about loyalty, support, and the complex dynamics within the Nigerian music and entertainment industry.
