Nollywood actress and businesswoman Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal has publicly criticized gospel singer Tope Alabi, claiming she is "holier and more impactful." This comes after Alabi declined to perform at a surprise birthday party organized in Anjorin's honor.
The Incident
The drama unfolded on Friday, April 4, 2025, when Anjorin's fans, with the support of her husband Lateef Lawal, invited Tope Alabi and her husband, Soji Alabi, to Anjorin's store in Lagos for a surprise performance. Upon arrival, the Alabis reportedly left without singing after discovering the event was a birthday celebration for the actress.
Anjorin's Response
Anjorin initially stated that she had no intention of celebrating her birthday and blamed her fans for organizing an event she never approved. She later released a video directly addressing Tope Alabi, questioning her moral standing and comparing their societal contributions.
"I am holier than you, Aunty mi Tope… I have done more good. I have added more value to the society than you," Anjorin stated. She also suggested that Alabi's beneficiaries were primarily those personally close to her, rather than people impacted by her on a broader scale.
Public Reaction
Tope Alabi has yet to respond to Anjorin's comments. Fans of both celebrities have expressed divided opinions online. Some believe Alabi had the right to choose where and when she ministers, while others criticized her for accepting the invitation only to decline upon arrival.
