Olaiya Igwe, a seasoned actor in Nollywood, revealed his regret for letting down renowned gospel singer Tope Alabi.
In a recent interview with Baba Ibe TV, Olaiya Igwe shared that the incident occurred on Alabi’s wedding day.
He recounted purchasing a luxury car after the success of his movie ‘Ololade Mr Money’.
When Alabi and her husband asked to borrow his car for their wedding ride, Igwe agreed but failed to follow through on the day of the event, ignoring their calls.
Despite seeking forgiveness from the couple, Olaiya Igwe still carries the weight of his actions with remorse.
“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”.
