Popular Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi has stirred online conversations after revealing why she didn’t wear earrings, jewelry, or wigs during the early days of her career.
In a now-viral video, Alabi dismissed claims that her modest look was due to divine instruction. Instead, she explained that she simply couldn’t afford accessories at the time.
“God never told me not to wear earrings, chains, or wigs. I just didn’t have money for them back then. But people assumed it was for religious reasons.”
The gospel star further stated that her fashion choices depend on the nature of her performances, emphasizing that her career in theater and music influences her appearance in videos.
Her revelation has sparked mixed reactions, especially from fans who recall past songs where she seemingly discouraged wearing wigs and jewelry.
Netizens React:

🔥 @tenniolaabike – “Mummy wa, you didn’t start like this o! Are you saying those who don’t wear earrings can’t afford them?”
While some fans criticized the singer for appearing to contradict her earlier stance, others defended her right to personal growth and change.
