My Mom Checked My Virginity Every 3 Months Till I Got Married – Gospel Singer, Tope Alabi

Ace Gospel musician and evangelist,Tope Alabi has revealed how strict her mother was with her while growing up, especially when she started going to movie locations.

In a recent interview with Punchng, when asked if her mother supported her music career, Alabi said:

“Yes, she did because she was also a singer. She always sang around the house. She believed that one didn’t have to be immoral simply because she is a singer. Every other member of my family was not pleased with my music career but my mother never took offence”.

She continued to say,

“She taught me that a female shouldn’t be too close to men. For example, I was never bathed at the same time with my male siblings. My mother used to check if my virginity was intact every three months interval before I got married; especially whenever I returned from movie locations.

When I newly got married to my husband, we went to the National Theatre in Lagos to watch a movie and actors like Yinka Quadri, Ebun Oloyede, among others were there. When they saw my husband, they congratulated him and told him that he had chosen a good and exemplary wife.

That made my husband quite happy. My mum was very strict and she never spared the rod. She also showed me a lot of motherly love.”
