‘Why I Dropped Otedola As My Surname’ – Temi Ajibade Reveals

Temi Ajibade, wife of singer Mr Eazi and daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, has revealed that taking her husband’s surname was purely a personal decision.

Speaking in a recent BBC interview, the actress and fashion influencer said she hadn’t dwelled much on the matter before marriage but felt it was a natural step after becoming a wife.

“It’s not anything I thought about before. Obviously, when I’m now a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name but it’s my personal choice,” she said.

She further emphasized her respect for the choices of other women, adding, “It’s my personal choice, I respect everybody’s personal choice, it’s what I’m comfortable and happy doing but I respect a woman’s ability to choose.”

Temi also shared why she chose to marry Mr Eazi, describing the Afrobeats star as her best friend and “her person,” while expressing excitement about building their future together.

“First and foremost, he’s my best friend, that’s my person and I think when you meet your person you know. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else,” she said.

“He’s the person that I’m excited and can’t wait to spend every day with and build our lives together, work through our ups and downs, celebrate together and solve problems together. He’s simply my person so we’re just excited for what’s to come.”

Their wedding has remained a hot topic among fans and on social media, drawing even more public attention to the couple—Temi thriving in film and fashion, and Mr Eazi making waves in the global music industry.
