Tope Alabi’s Daughter, Ayomiku, Appreciates Stepdad, Ignores Biological Father

Gospel Singer’s Daughter Celebrates Soji Alabi After Wedding

Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi’s daughter, Ayomiku, has publicly expressed deep appreciation for her stepfather, Soji Alabi, while pointedly ignoring her biological father following her private wedding last week.

The heartfelt tribute, which she shared on her official Instagram page on March 17, 2025, reinforced her long-standing stance that Soji Alabi is her true father figure. The post was filled with emotional words, highlighting the unwavering love and support she has received from him throughout her life.

Ayomiku’s message comes years after her biological father made headlines in November 2020, accusing Tope Alabi of denying him access to their daughter for over two decades. Despite the controversy at the time, Ayomiku firmly declared that she recognized only Soji Alabi as her father.

An Emotional Tribute to a ‘Father Indeed’

In her emotional Instagram post, Ayomiku showered praise on Soji Alabi, describing him as a man of strength and unwavering support. She reflected on his sacrifices, recounting how he had always been present in her life, from childhood to her wedding day.

She wrote:

“A father indeed!!! A man very much after my heart ❤️ A man of timber and caliber. A man whose love has been my pillar. I type this with tears in my eyes because where do I start from? This man loves me beyond words, I can’t begin to explain or express it.”

She continued:

“I love you with every bone in my body and every flesh on my skin. Thank you for being the best father to ever father me ❤️ from childhood up until the day you gave my hands in marriage to Olu. And even right now, you continue to father me. May you reap the reward of every labor. May you reap the fruits of coming from Lagos to Iwo every weekend. May you reap the fruits of always being there on my birthdays. OLUSOJI MI OWON. I love you, Baami.”

Silence on Biological Father Raises Eyebrows

Notably absent from Ayomiku’s message was any mention of her biological father, a man who had previously claimed he was cut off from her life by Tope Alabi. His 2020 revelations stirred controversy, but Ayomiku had made it clear at the time that her loyalty lay with Soji Alabi.

Her recent tribute has reignited public discussions about the strained relationship, with many social media users applauding her for appreciating the father figure who raised her, while others questioned the complete exclusion of her biological father.

A Public Display of Gratitude and Loyalty

Ayomiku’s open admiration for Soji Alabi underscores the strong bond she shares with him, emphasizing that fatherhood is defined by love, care, and presence rather than just biological ties. Her words reflect gratitude for his unwavering role in her life, from childhood to her wedding day and beyond.

As she begins this new chapter of her life, Ayomiku’s message sends a powerful statement about her chosen family, celebrating the man who has stood by her every step of the way.
