Ayomiku, the daughter of renowned Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi, has publicly expressed deep gratitude to her stepfather, Soji Alabi, while noticeably ignoring her biological father after her private wedding last week.
PENTALK reports that in November 2020, Ayomiku’s biological father surfaced on social media, claiming that Tope Alabi had denied him access to their daughter for 22 years. The revelation sparked controversy, with many questioning the gospel singer’s decision. However, Ayomiku made it clear at the time that she considers Soji Alabi, her mother’s husband, as her true father.
Following her wedding on March 17, 2025, Ayomiku took to Instagram to shower praises on Soji Alabi, describing him as a father figure who has stood by her through every stage of her life. She expressed gratitude for his love, sacrifices, and unwavering support, referring to him as “a man after her heart.”

“A father indeed!!! A man very much after my heart… This man loves me beyond words. I can’t begin to explain or express it,” she wrote in an emotional tribute.
She went on to recall how Soji Alabi had been present in her life, from childhood to her wedding day, praying that he reaps the rewards of his dedication and sacrifices.
Her post has since sparked reactions online, with many applauding her deep appreciation for Soji Alabi, while others noted the absence of any acknowledgment for her biological father. The situation has reignited discussions about family, fatherhood, and the complexities of parental relationships.
