Renowned Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi is now a grandmother after her eldest daughter, Ayokunmi Bantale, gave birth to a baby girl. The news was shared on social media on Friday, January 23, 2026, with photos of the newborn posted by the new mother.
The child is Ayokunmi and her husband’s first, following their high-profile wedding in March 2025. The birth had been anticipated publicly after Ayokunmi appeared with a visible baby bump in one of Tope Alabi’s music videos.
“I am now a mother… I welcomed a baby girl. She is a child born out of pure love that feels like heaven,” Ayokunmi said. “She is an angel in human form. I thank God for a safe delivery.”
The arrival of the newborn marks a major milestone for the Alabi family. Ayokunmi, who has followed her mother’s path as a singer, had previously spoken about family dynamics during her wedding, publicly acknowledging her stepfather, Soji Alabi, as her father figure.
Both mother and child are reported to be in good health. While the baby’s name has not been disclosed, photos show the couple holding the infant’s hand, officially introducing the newest member of the Alabi-Bantale family to the public.
