A heartwarming interview of late gospel singer Toluwanisings speaking lovingly about his wife has gone viral, resurfaced by Nigerian actress Biola Adebayo on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at a particularly painful moment for the widow.

In the sit-down interview, Toluwanisings could barely contain his emotions when asked about his wife, repeatedly exclaiming "my wife!" with visible pride. He described her as his backbone, his source of courage, and his greatest inspiration, someone who would wake in the night to pray over him and speak words of encouragement.

"My wife has been a source of inspiration to me, a source of encouragement. My backbone. You know, sometimes she wakes in the night and just pray for me, lay her hands upon me," he said warmly.

Perhaps the most charming part of the clip was the singer's account of how their love story began. He admitted it took him six full years to convince his wife to date him, all while they were members of the same church and had to keep things discreet.

At the time of the interview, the couple was approaching 20 years of knowing each other.

"Let me tell you, I used six years to ask her out," he said with a laugh.

Biola Adebayo shared the video on Instagram as tensions over Toluwanisings' burial continued to spill into public view, with reports of a dispute between his widow and members of his paternal family. The timing of the reshare appeared deliberate, a reminder of the bond the singer himself described so vividly.
