Music personality Yinka Atanda, popularly known as Yinka TNT, has stirred reactions after sharing an alleged voice recording of late Nigerian singer Toluwanisings, in which he reportedly complained about the financial demands placed on him by his maternal relatives.
Yinka TNT made the revelation while speaking about the ongoing controversy surrounding the singer’s death and the disagreement involving his widow and maternal family.
According to her, she had initially chosen not to get involved in the family dispute. However, she decided to break her silence after hearing about the alleged pressure being placed on the late singer’s widow.
She further suggested that the financial stress the singer reportedly experienced while alive might have contributed to his difficulties before his death.
In the voice note played by Yinka TNT, Toluwanisings could reportedly be heard expressing frustration over repeated requests for large sums of money from a family member.
The singer mentioned that the individual had allegedly demanded ₦6 million and later requested another ₦12 million. He lamented that the responsibility of raising the money was being placed entirely on him rather than being shared among other family members.
He also disclosed that the financial demands had disrupted his plans to establish a business for his wife.
In his words:
“If you know what he is demanding for, not a small amount, N6million, he has finished school and still telling different things. He also asked for N12million, he asking for huge amounts and it is not like people will contribute the money together and give him, it is only me, Taye is asking for much. I suspended setting up my wife in business because of them. Should go and take my life?”
Reacting to the recording, Yinka TNT claimed that the late singer had been working in Nigeria and converting his earnings into dollars before sending money to his relatives.
She questioned why he was still being subjected to such significant financial demands despite reportedly supporting members of his family.
Yinka TNT also raised concerns about the late singer’s properties and the alleged interest of his maternal relatives in his assets following his death.
She appealed to the family to allow the widow to mourn her husband without additional pressure, stressing that she should be given the opportunity to grieve and rebuild her life peacefully.
The development has added another layer to the controversy surrounding Toluwanisings’ death, particularly the disagreement between his widow and maternal relatives.
