The paternal grandmother of late Nigerian gospel singer Toluwanisings has spoken about their strained relationship, claiming that the singer rarely contacted or supported her while he was alive.
The elderly woman also insisted that the late musician should be buried in the house he built rather than beside the grave of his late mother, adding another dimension to the ongoing family disagreement over his burial arrangements.
Speaking during an interview with Dumininu, the grandmother said she was deeply affected by the singer’s death despite their limited relationship.
According to her, the family took good care of Toluwanisings’ mother, but she claimed the singer hardly called or visited her.
She explained that she only learnt about his growing popularity as a gospel singer recently and was unaware that he had built a house.
The grandmother further alleged that the singer rarely gave her money, claiming that he sent her ₦10,000 on about three occasions after she complained about his failure to visit her.
“He never gives me money at all, even one kobo,” she said, while recounting how someone once helped her contact him so she could hear his voice.
She also claimed that he did not provide her with medication or other forms of support. However, she stressed that his death brought her deep sorrow, despite their differences.
Speaking about his burial, the grandmother maintained that she wanted him laid to rest inside the house he built and strongly opposed the idea of burying him beside his late mother.
“It is my wish for him to be buried inside the house he built. They should not come and put him beside his mother’s grave at all. I will not allow it,” she said.
Her comments have brought attention to the family’s burial disagreement, with questions remaining about the final arrangements for the late singer.
The claims reflect the grandmother’s account of their relationship, and further details about the family’s position and the final burial decision have not been established in the information available.
