Thursday, October 16, 2025 - Gospel singer Tope Alabi has revealed that she was rejected by four different men before she eventually got married to her husband.
According to her, the men left her after seeking spiritual
advice about their relationship.
Speakin in a video shared on Instagram, the 55-year-old
singer recounted how, as a young woman ready for marriage, things always took a
strange turn each time she brought a man close to meeting her parents.
“When I became an adult and it was getting to a stage that I
needed to take men to meet my parents, something strange always came up. The
men would just say they needed to go and pray about it and afterward, they
would stop reaching out to me,” Alabi said.
She said the rejection usually came with spiritual
undertones. On one occasion, she learned that a suitor had visited prophets who
allegedly warned him against marrying her
“One of our intermediaries once told me that one of the men
had gone to meet prophets who told him I was not okay to be married
to,” she said. “I can count like four men that stylishly left me.
Would you then tell me not to thank God whenever I remember that?”
Alabi added that she eventually met the man who would become
her husband through her boss at work. But even that encounter came with its own
twist
“The man promised to marry me, but I told him that’s what
all men say. I told him to go and ask about me,” she recalled. “After
he told my parents he would come for proper introduction, we stopped seeing
each other. My father had already given out my hand in marriage to another
suitor before he travelled.”
The gospel singer, who was previously married to Lekan
Olaoye, with whom she had a daughter, Ayomikun is now married to Soji Alabi,
her longtime producer and manager. The couple share three children.
Tope’s story, she said, is a testimony that God’s timing
never fails.
“When I look back, I just thank God for how everything
turned out. It was not easy, but it was worth it,” she concluded.
