Veteran gospel act and current Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Gospel Musician Association of Nigeria, Funmi Aragbaye, has slammed popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi, for her controversial use of ‘aboru aboye,’ a term commonly associated with Ifa worshippers in a newly released song.
Her reaction trails the recent viral video of fellow gospel artiste, Tope Alabi, where she sang using Yoruba words associated with greetings by Ifa worshippers, said the latter is behaving as if she is “above God”.
The viral video however attracted mouths into talking which she is seen singing a song in a Church using words associated with Ifa worshippers.
Aragbaye, whose 1990’s Mo Gbo Ipe Olorun (Divine Call) was an instant hit, blamed the media for Alabi’s success, saying despite ”fumbling for many years, the media continues to promote her.”
