Renowned Nigerian gospel singer Yinka Ayefele has sparked emotional reactions across social media after sharing an AI-generated video that depicted him standing up from his wheelchair and dancing joyfully to his own music.
The video, which has gone viral, shows the music icon momentarily rising from his wheelchair and dancing with a smile on his face—an image that stirred both admiration and empathy from fans and followers.
Accompanying the clip, Ayefele wrote a brief but powerful caption: “In God I trust.” The singer’s message hinted at a deeper longing for physical healing, and his unwavering faith that one day, what the AI simulated might become his reality.
The gospel artiste, who was involved in a car accident in 1997 that severely damaged his spinal cord, has been confined to a wheelchair ever since.
Despite the life-altering event, Ayefele did not allow the incident to silence his dreams. Instead, he launched a successful music career the same year and has since risen to national acclaim, collecting numerous awards and accolades.
In 2020, Ayefele shared another emotional moment when he posted a video of himself briefly standing on his feet again—an image that brought hope and inspiration to many.
Through his latest post, the singer once again reminded the public of his resilience and unshakable belief in divine possibilities.
The AI-generated video may not depict reality—yet—but for Ayefele, it serves as a symbolic expression of hope and faith that continues to define his personal and professional journey.
