There has been much ado about the purported D’banj – Tope Alabi collabo, many have begun to wonder if the Kokomaster has gone churchy or perhaps the beloved gospel artiste has gone secular kicking off big time with the man who claims he is not just endowed, but has got a ‘slicker koko’ than your average dude. And just as you are wondering how possible this is,you’re definitely not alone.
Several newspaper reportshave featured Alabi, denying the rumoured collaboration; insisting it’s the handiwork of her detractors. The evangelist claims she’s not about to start destroying a reputation that’s taken her decades to build.
However, the rumour still lingers among several media professionals and fans or both artistes in question.
But Alabi, a bestselling singer and respected performer, is not the only one pushing disclaimers. Dbanj’s reps are also saying they know nothing of the said collabo.
To shed a brighter light on things, Mo’Hits artistes’ Manager Mr. Sunday Aare, spoke with Nigerian Entertainment Today (NET) at 11:11AM on Tuesday June 7, 2011 confirming that
‘There is nothing like that. I don’t know (those) who carry fake stories in this industry. I don’t even know who Tope Alabi is.’
And just in case you don’t know who Tope Alabi is either; here’s a couple of freebies from NET’s hard-drive. Tope Alabi is a gospel artiste born Tuesday October 27, 1970 and her discographies include: ‘Ore Ti O Common – Uncommon Favour’ (2001), ‘Iwe Eri – Certificate’ (2003), ‘Agbara Re Ni – It’s By Your Power’ (2005), ‘Agbara Olorun – The Power of God’ (2006), ‘Angeli Mi – My Angel’ (2007) and ‘Kokoro Igbala – The Key of Salvation’ (2008). Her latest album, ‘Mori Yanu,’ was well received by so many Christians and non-Christians. Her lovely voice has just a little contrast from that of the Ibadan-born legendary highlife icon, Tunde Nightingale better known as Western and she is considered to be the major act that develops sound tracks for Yoruba home videos.
Did you say you don’t know who D’banj is as well? Then I guess you’ve been sitting on a very lonnnng thing…
