Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin says organisers of her birthday mentioned her name to to gospel singer, Tope Alabi in the email sent to invite her to the ceremony.
She also said her unwavering admiration for gospel singer Tope Alabi, revealing it as the reason she distanced herself from fellow artist Yinka Alaseyori.
In a recent video, Lizzy disclosed that she declined an invitation to an award event in Canada simply because Yinka, and not Tope, was scheduled to perform.
She also shared that she played Tope Alabi’s songs in solidarity during the singer’s recent online controversy, even though her team advised against it.
However, Lizzy expressed disappointment over Tope Alabi’s silence following a surprise birthday celebration she had hoped would be acknowledged by the gospel star, especially since she felt the gesture was made in Tope’s honour.
She said: “This is the evidence that the person who planned the birthday surprise for me mentioned my name in the email that was sent to Sis Tope Alabi’s team on Jan 26. My fans deliberately called Tope because they know how much I love her. It’s because of Sis Tope that I never played Yinka Alaseyori’s songs on my page. I don’t h@te Yinka but I was just being loyal to Sis Tope”.
“I was invited to an award ceremony in Canada, and Yinka was to sing there; I didn’t go because it was not Sis Tope who would sing. When Sis Tope was being dragged recently for not allowing the father of her daughter to be at her wedding, I played my song to support her even though my team told me not to.”
Recall that Tope Alabi had declined to perform when she got to the birthday ceremony and discovered that the celebrant was Lizzy. She also refunded the money paid her to sing at the ceremony.
