“What Hurt Me Most And Still Hurting Me Is What I Did To Tope Alabi” – Actor Olaiya Igwe

Veteran Nollywood actor, Olaiya Igwe, has expressed deep regret over a past decision that disappointed renowned gospel singer Tope Alabi.

In a recent interview with Baba Ibe TV, the actor recounted an incident that occurred on Alabi’s wedding day. According to Igwe, the situation unfolded years ago after the release of his hit movie Ololade Mr Money, which enabled him to purchase a luxury car.

He recalled that Tope Alabi and her husband, Soji, had approached him during their wedding preparations, requesting to use his vehicle as their official ride. Initially, he agreed to lend them the car. However, when the big day arrived, he ignored their calls, ultimately failing to fulfill his promise.

Despite having apologized to the couple, Igwe admitted that he still feels a sense of guilt over his actions.

“What hurt me most and still hurting me is what I did to my younger sister, singer Tope Alabi. She informed me about her wedding, and I just bought a car ‘V boot’ at that time. It was when I did ‘Olalade Mr Money’ movie and before I collected the plate number, I had already inscribed Ololade Mr Money 1 on the car.

“So, I went to Ibadan in Oyo State to show one of my films, and my car was stolen from me by robbers but it was later recovered the following day after the news has circulated on radio stations and other platforms. When I returned from Ibadan, Tope Alabi came to my house in Abeokuta and said big brother please we want to use your car for our wedding and I said no problem.

“But after she left, I had a second thought that what if armed robbers snatched the car from them. I stopped picking her calls a day before the wedding. I didn’t give her the car. I disappointed Tope Alabi. But she now has countless luxury cars, some of which I cannot afford. So, up till today I’m still in pain that I offended Tope Alabi. I once sought her forgiveness during one of our professional meetings in Ogun State. My greatest regret is disappointing Tope Alabi”.
