Why I Married Mr Eazi – Temi Otedola

Published

on

Actress and fashion influencer, Temi Ajibade, has revealed why she decided to marry Afrobeats singer, Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi.

In an interview with the BBC on Wednesday, Temi described the singer as her best friend and the person she always wanted to spend her life with.

“He’s my best friend. He’s my person. And I think when you meet your person, you will know. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else. He’s the person that I’m excited and can’t wait to spend every day with, build our lives together, work through our ups and downs together, celebrate together, and solve problems together. He’s simply my person,” she said.

Temi, who recently updated her social media bio to reflect her husband’s surname, explained that taking on the name Ajibade was a personal decision.

To be deeply honest with you, it’s not anything I had thought about before. Obviously, now that I’m a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. But it’s my personal choice. I respect everybody’s personal choice. It’s what I’m comfortable and happy doing, but I also respect a woman’s ability to choose,” she added.

She also spoke about her choice to keep her engagement and wedding private, saying it was about controlling her narrative.

I think it’s more about owning your own narrative. There’s something about moving in silence that allows you to have control over things. It allows you to build the narrative you want, and you’re able to share when you feel ready to share and in the way you want to share it,” she said.

Temi, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, admitted that her father influenced her outlook on life, but noted that he encouraged her and her sisters to chart their own paths instead of relying on his businesses.
She further acknowledged that coming from a privileged background gave her an advantage, but stressed that the real test was how one used such opportunities.

“You will never hear me say it doesn’t. I think it’s very important for people who are privileged to acknowledge that leg up they’ve gotten in life. Maybe the caveat is that you can give someone a leg up, but it’s what they do with it that matters,” she said.
