Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi has caused a stir on the internet by talking about her early days in the music business and why she didn’t wear wigs, jewelry, or earrings when she first started out.

According to her, God never told her to avoid wearing jewelry or wigs.

The gospel singer explained that at the beginning of her career, she simply could not afford good earrings, chains, wigs or other accessories, which is why she did not wear them.
She noted that people often misinterpreted her modest appearance, assuming it was a spiritual decision rather than a financial reality.
Additionally, she shared that she chooses her outfits based on the nature of her performances.
“God has never told me not to wear earrings, chains, or wigs.
”I’m a theater practitioner to the core, so I understand what fits each song. If a song does not require me to wear earrings, I won’t use them in the video. In the past, people assumed I avoided earrings for religious reasons, but the truth is, I simply could not afford them at the time,” she said in part…
Tope Alabi’s statement has sparked mixed reactions, especially from fans who recall moments when she seemingly sang against wearing jewelry and wigs.
