Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola Marry in Iceland as Temi Adopts Husband’s Name

Singer Mr Eazi and actress and entrepreneur Temi Otedola have formalised their relationship in a wedding ceremony held in Reykjavik, Iceland. The event, which took place at the landmark Hallgrímskirkja Church, drew a small circle of family and friends, including billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote, entertainer Broda Shaggi, and Temi’s sister, DJ Cuppy.

The marriage comes three years after the couple announced their engagement in London in April 2022. They had earlier held traditional rites in Dubai, hosted by the Otedola family, before proceeding with the formal service in Iceland.

Temi has since made a public declaration of her name change, dropping her father’s surname and adopting that of her husband. She now goes by Temi Ajibade, Mr Eazi’s legal surname, Oluwatosin Ajibade. The move has prompted discussion across social media platforms, where many have debated the symbolic significance of the gesture within the context of celebrity marriages.

In the weeks leading up to the ceremony, Mr Eazi addressed speculation surrounding the cost of the wedding. He rejected suggestions that his music earnings from 2017 and 2018 could have funded such an elaborate celebration, noting that those years were financially difficult for him despite the later success of several singles released during that period.

The singer had also drawn attention earlier in August when he advised young men to consider marriage as a key to stability and eventual success. Speaking during an interview in London, he stressed that discipline, patience, and faith were central to his own journey and credited his partner’s support as a source of strength during challenging periods in his career.

The wedding has generated wide interest among fans and within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, where both Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola occupy prominent positions. While Mr Eazi has built an international reputation as one of the leading voices in Afrobeats, Temi has established her presence as an actress and fashion entrepreneur. Their union is seen as a merger of two influential creative worlds, marking a high-profile moment in the cultural life of contemporary Nigerian pop entertainment.
