Why I Stopped Lifting People Up – Gospel Singer Tope Alabi Opens Up
Tope Alabi has helped a lot of people in her career. But she has decided that she is done lifting others up. During a ministration, the gospel singer explained why, and her story is both sad and revealing.
She recalled a time she met a talented female singer. Tope decided to support her career, so she relocated the woman, along with her husband and children, to Lagos. She brought them close to her so they could face challenges together, including what she described as spiritual issues.
Tope said she told the woman, "We will be staying together. Any spiritual problems should come and face us together." That is deep commitment. Tope was not just giving advice from a distance. She was bringing this woman into her home, her space, her life.
But something happened, Tope did not go into every detail, but she made it clear that the experience discouraged her. She did not name the woman, saying she did not want people to figure out who she was. But the message was clear – after what happened, Tope is no longer interested in lifting people up.
Reactions have been pouring in. Some people understand her position completely. They say that helping people often backfires. The people you lift up sometimes turn around and bite you. They become jealous, entitled, or ungrateful. After a few bad experiences, you learn to keep to yourself. Others are saying Tope should not let a few bad apples spoil the whole barrel. There are still genuine people out there who need help. If everyone who got burned stopped helping, nobody would ever lift anyone up again.
A few have speculated about who the woman might be. But Tope refused to name names, so it is all just guesswork. Maybe the woman knows who she is. Maybe she is feeling guilty right now. Or maybe she has no idea Tope is talking about her. Tope Alabi has made her decision. She is not lifting people up anymore. Whether that is wise or just self-protection is for
her to decide.
