Yoruba gospel singer Tope Alabi has criticised her colleague Adeyinka Alaseyori over the latter’s song ‘Oniduro Mi’, saying it belittles God’s capacity.
Tope made the remarks in a viral video when she was invited to minister at an event over the weekend.
According to her, the song, which means ‘My Guarantor’, does not explain God’s powers fully.
“God is beyond being a guarantor to Man. I’m not saying that the song is not beautiful. However, when we receive heavenly inspiration to sing, there are some deliberations we must have with the Holy Spirit before we can bring out such a song,” she said.
”If we keep singing the gospel just as the Spirit-inspired, there is the possibility that we all will be singing absurdly. As gospel singers, God has given us the brain to digest, chew, and fully comprehend the inspiration given to us before we bring it to life.”
‘Oniduro Mi’ is a track off Adeyinka’s worship medley titled Arojinle released in 2020.
Tope’s comments about the song has sparked varying reactions on social media, with many saying God can play different roles to people.
Adeyinka had not responded as of press time.
