Veteran Nigerian gospel musician, Tope Alabi will feature her daughter, Ayo Alabi in a new song titled "A Friend".
The announcement was made public by Ayo Alabi through her Instagram handle @the_ayomikualabi_
She wrote;
"To God be all the glory finally. A new song the mother herself titled A FRIEND, @tope_alabi_ thank you very much for the opportunity mum! Are you as hyped as I am????"
Tope Alabi have a lot of respect for her young daughter's talent. She was once asked if any of her daughters sings, her response;
"Yes. My first daughter, Ayomiku, is currently studying music at the university. She often tells me a lot of things about the rudiments and intricacies of music. I actually wanted her to study medicine but she chose music. She writes good lyrics and I respect her for that."
Although her parents wanted her to study medicine and surgery, her choice to study music was influenced by her mother's lifestyle as a musician and her passion for music.
Speaking to Punch Newspaper in 2017, she said;
"I have a passion for music. I love singing beside the fact that my mother is a singer. I cannot rule out the fact that she influenced me with the way she sings and how much she is loved by her fans for her talent. She and my father have been encouraging me a lot in the course I have decided to study."
Ayomiku loves her mother very much. They are the best friends!
In an interview with a gospel music website, BelieversCompanion, Ayomiku said the best advice she got from her mother is that humility will take one to places one does not imagine so it can take one to the end of the world.
Although Ayo has featured alongside Tope Alabi in worship sessions online with a large number of the audience joining the live session across the globe, the song, " A Friend" is, however, the first time Tope Alabi and her talented daughter who also studies Music will release an official song.
Legit.ng described Ayomiku as an incredible talent who loves to work hard and a person who appreciates her friends and fans appreciation.
Ayo Alabi currently has over 41,000 followers on Instagram where she sometimes shares videos of herself singing to popular songs and her own composed songs.
