Old Video of Late Gospel Singer Toun Soetan Revealing Age to Mama Fasoyin Trends Online
An old video featuring the late Nigerian gospel singer Toun Soetan has resurfaced and gone viral across social media platforms following her unfortunate demise. The singer passed away recently, with her family publicly confirming the sad news to music lovers and fans nationwide.
The circulating clip captures a memorable moment from 2025 when Soetan visited her senior colleague, Mama Fasoyin, in a hotel room during an event organized by Yinka Alaseyori. The event celebrated gospel singers in the industry who were aged above sixty years, making the interaction particularly significant.
Heartwarming Exchange Between Gospel Icons
In the video, Toun Soetan enters Mama Fasoyin's hotel room and finds her enjoying a meal of amala. The two gospel veterans exchange warm pleasantries and engage in lighthearted banter, with Soetan affectionately referring to Fasoyin as a "sweet girl." The conversation takes an interesting turn when Soetan questions why her senior colleague isn't using the air conditioner.
Mama Fasoyin responds that she doesn't need the cooling device, prompting Soetan to playfully dance and encourage her to behave with the energy of a younger person. The late singer then urges Fasoyin to finish her food, but the elder gospel artist explains that as she ages, she needs to reduce her meal portions.
The Age Revelation That Surprised Everyone
The most remarkable moment occurs when Toun Soetan reassures Mama Fasoyin about aging concerns, revealing that her senior colleague is actually seventy-two years old. This revelation visibly surprises everyone present in the room, including event organizer Yinka Alaseyori who comments on how remarkably youthful Fasoyin appears at that age.
