- Nigerian gospel singer, Tope Alabi, has made fans on social media have mixed feelings after a viral video

- The singer was spotted dancing the usual trendy but ‘worldly’ steps that appear to have made some people uncomfortable

- Tope Alabi reacted to the criticism by saying that the video was taken during her father’s burial and that she needed that dance

Dancing is a form of expression and many people let themselves go when they are faced with good music and a relaxing atmosphere.

However, the Nigerian society is just like every other African society where people who are highly placed by others cannot be seen doing certain things in public or it could earn them criticism.

Just recently, a video made the rounds on social media of a popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi, letting herself go and having a good time as she showed off her cool dance steps.
