-Aboru Aboye Controversy – Funmi Aragbaye Calls Out Tope Alabi
Veteran gospel singer, Funmi Aragbaye has called out Tope Alabi over her controversial use of word “Aboru Aboye“, while she was worshiping God.
The gospel singer, while she was reacting to the controversial video of fellow gospel artiste, Tope Alabi, criticized her where she sang using Aboru Aboye, a Yoruba word she believes is associated with greetings by Ifa worshippers.
She also said the latter is behaving as if she is above everyone and God.
In a phone conversation with Punch, Aragbaye shared her views about Alabi.
“Tope Alabi believes she is above everyone and God. She is not a member of GOMAN, nor any other gospel association. She believes she’s too good for that. She’s not committed to anyone; she is neither here nor there.”

Aragbaye added that Alabi’s actions reflect a larger issue.
“People are taking God for granted due to the merciful nature of God. Many people today are just worshipping God with their mouths; their hearts aren’t in it.”
“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.”
Aragbaye, whose hit song “Mo Gbo Ipe Olorun (Divine Call)” was popular in the 1990s, laid part of the blame on the media. She believes the media has promoted her fellow gospel singer, Tope Alabi, despite her flaws.
