The family of late Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonle Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, has appealed for financial support for his wife and two daughters following his death.
The development comes as fans, colleagues and members of the gospel music community continue to mourn the singer, whose sudden passing on October 14, 2026, left many people shocked.
Toluwanisings, who was 41, was widely known for his energetic praise songs and passionate gospel ministrations. His music earned him a following among gospel music lovers, particularly through social media and live worship gatherings.
Following his death, attention has increasingly turned to the welfare of his immediate family as they navigate life without their husband and father.
According to reports, the family has now opened a support initiative to enable well-wishers to contribute towards the needs of his wife and children during this difficult period. <Cite refs={[“turn515426news2″,”turn515426search5”]}/>
Fans Rally Around the Late Gospel Singer’s Family
The appeal has prompted conversations among fans and supporters, with many encouraging members of the public to offer whatever assistance they can to help the bereaved family.
For many admirers, supporting the singer’s wife and children is a way of honouring his memory and acknowledging the impact he made through his music and ministry.
Toluwanisings built a reputation for lively praise performances and songs that encouraged faith and devotion. His passing has therefore been met with an outpouring of condolences from fans, fellow gospel artistes and other entertainers.
The singer’s death was confirmed by his family in a statement published on his verified social media accounts. The announcement described him as a beloved husband, family member and gospel minister, while asking the public to keep his loved ones in their prayers.
Previous Fundraising Controversy Raises Questions
The latest development follows an earlier controversy involving a fundraising appeal that circulated online shortly after the singer’s death.
At the time, Toluwanisings’ family disowned a fundraising flyer attributed to the TolaOluwa Foundation, warning the public that the appeal had not been authorised by them.
The foundation subsequently apologised, acknowledging that the timing of its appeal had caused distress and that it should have obtained approval from the relevant parties before making the request public. <Cite refs={[“turn515426news3″,”turn515426search1”]}/>
The earlier incident highlighted the importance of verifying charitable appeals, particularly when they involve grieving families and public figures.
Supporters are therefore encouraged to confirm the authenticity of any donation request through the late singer’s verified social media channels before contributing.
As the family continues to mourn, the support initiative is expected to provide an avenue for people who wish to assist his wife and daughters as they adjust to their loss.
