Gospel musicians, including Adeyinka Alaseyori, Esther Igbekele, and other fellow artists, mourned their late colleague Toluwanisings through heartfelt performances at a tribute night in Ibadan, Oyo State. The emotional event took place at Jogor Centre, with the artistes dressed in white and singing in honour of the deceased gospel singer.

Performances by Alaseyori, who collaborated with Toluwanisings on a song titled "Ase Ti Jade," and Sarah Apekeola, who performed his hit "Iba," left the audience deeply moved. Other artists, such as Peterson Okopi, Lanre Alewilese, and Laolu Gbenjo, also delivered touching renditions, causing some attendees to cry. Toluwanisings, whose real name was Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, passed away on October 14, 2026, after reportedly falling unconscious.

His death has sparked controversy over his burial arrangements, with his family offering differing requests.
