Reacting to the demise of the Queen, Tope Alabi via her Instagram page shared a video with photos of the queen accompanied by the new song she composed for her.
While recalling the good deeds of the Queen, Tope Alabi in the song noted that the world didn’t want the Queen to leave as they had not planned to pay tribute to her soon.

However, social media users tackled her for not paying tribute to her fellow Nigerians, like Adah Ameh etc when they passed on but would rather compose a song for the woman that enslaved Africans.
