Controversial Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin has finally broken her silence following the viral drama at her birthday celebration.
The actress, who was visibly upset during the event after gospel singer Tope Alabi rejected a surprise performance arranged by her husband, has now responded with a subtle but clear jab.
In her words, “I prefer traditional chanters at my events. If I wanted to listen to Tope Alabi’s songs, l’d just go to Boomplay.
“I am a Muslim and I didn’t expect my fans to invite a gospel singer to my birthday. They should have invited an Islamic singer who is my fan. I can never use my money to call Aunty Tope Alabi to sing for me. The best of her songs is in her album and I can easily play it in my house.
“The millions my fans sent to her could have been given to beggars on the street or people that need their hospital bills to be paid. A pregnant woman d!ed recently because she couldn’t afford 500k for hospital bills. I don’t do copy copy like other people.
“I already warned my fans to stop wasting money. I thank God I am alive and healthy for my birthday. I don’t know why she refused to come down from the car but the reason is best known to her. I hope my fans have learnt their lessons from this. AUNTY TOPE, I LOVE YOU BUT I DON’T NEED YOU.”
