The allegations have circulated online following Toluwanisings' death on October 14, 2026, amid disagreements involving his widow, extended family and associates.
Taiwo speaks on late singer's decision
In the recording, Taiwo specifically denied being responsible for Toluwanisings' alleged failure to open a shop for his wife.
He questioned why he was being blamed for a decision that, according to him, was entirely the responsibility of the late singer.
"Your husband that did not open shop for you, not because of me. Your husband decided not to do all the stuff for you," he said.
Taiwo further argued that Toluwanisings was an adult who made his own decisions and should not have his choices attributed to other people.
Taiwo's financial relationship with Toluwanisings
Beyond the allegation involving the singer's widow, Taiwo also addressed claims that he pressured his relative for money.
He maintained that he had never hindered the singer's progress and insisted that the money he received was borrowed, not demanded as a gift.
"I borrowed it from him, I loaned it from him, and I'm going to return it," he said.
His response came amid controversy over the ₦6 million the singer's friends and associates raised for his UK university tuition.
Taiwo had earlier said he would refund the donation after public criticism.

"I can’t watch it till the end, but this audio needs to be kept safe. He said all the money he collected was loaned to him and not FOC. They need to hold him accountable to that and make sure he returns everything to the last penny."
@ekundayool65148 commented:
"This guy is an ungrateful soul. This is the reason why some people run away from their extended impoverished family immediately they have a breakthrough.Their entitlement mentality is second to none. Just imagine the trash this guy is talking just to defend their ungratefulness"
