Concern and controversy have erupted online after Ifunaya’s choir announced a tribute event for the late singer, barely days after the tragic news broke. What has fueled the backlash even more is the choir’s request that people must register before they can attend, sparking widespread questions and suspicion.
Social media users are divided—while some defend the move as a matter of organization and crowd control, others are asking: “Why the rush?” and “Why should a tribute require registration?” The development has ignited intense conversations about mourning culture, sensitivity, and transparency in moments of grief.
As reactions continue to pour in, many are calling for clarity from the organizers, insisting that tributes should be about honoring the dead, not raising eyebrows.
