Nigerian gospel singer, Tope Alabi, has expressed displeasure over the rivalry among her colleagues in the music industry.
OsunDailyNG reports that the ‘Angeli Mi’ cooner while speaking in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital, on Sunday, at the ‘Celebrating Jesus 7.0’ concert, lamented over what she described as fake love among gospel singers.
Tope Alabi expressed frustration over the jealousy and bitter rivalries among both the A-list and upcoming singers in the gospel music industry.
While emphasizing the need for support and unity between the already established and emerging artists, Alabi reminded her colleagues to prioritize their legacy and accountability before God over fame and success.
She said, “God will hold us accountable for these things. Let us stop it. It is high time we know that we are working for the kingdom and not for ourselves or fame. The bigger ones separated themselves from the up and coming. And yet the bigger ones still fight themselves again, what do you want those coming up to do?
“The emerging ones are already against each other. These children coming up are already backstabbing and emulating us because we started it. They are enemies to each other and smile with one another, they are faking it. This is getting out of hand and God will ask us.”
