Gospel Singer Apologises to Toluwanisings’ Widow Over ₦6m School-Fee Fundraiser
Gospel singer Lanre Alewilese has apologised to the widow of late singer Toluwanisings after facing criticism for organising a ₦6 million fundraiser for a relative’s school fees in the UK. In a statement on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, he said he acted impulsively and took responsibility for his approach. The controversy followed a voice note shared by music personality Yinka TNT. In it, Toluwanisings reportedly complained that he had spent about ₦12 million supporting the relative’s education and could no longer afford to continue. Alewilese said he organised the fundraiser after the relative told him Toluwanisings had promised to pay his £6,500 fees. He said he had understood the young man to be the late singer’s sibling and only learned after Toluwanisings’ death that they were not biological brothers. The relative has reportedly indicated that he intends to return the money raised.
