- Temi Otedola, daughter of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola, has officially adopted her husband’s surname following her wedding to Afrobeats star Mr Eazi.
- The move, confirmed via her updated Instagram bio, has reignited conversations around identity, tradition, and feminism in Nigeria’s celebrity circles.
Temi Otedola has officially embraced her new identity as Temi Ajibade, following her wedding to Nigerian music star Mr Eazi. The billionaire heiress updated her Instagram bio to reflect the change, dropping her father’s surname and adopting her husband’s—a move that has sparked both admiration and controversy online.
The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony at Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavik, Iceland, attended by close family and high-profile guests including Aliko Dangote and Brodashaggi. The wedding marked the final chapter in a three-part celebration that began with a civil ceremony in Monaco and a traditional Yoruba wedding in Dubai.
On Friday night, Temi and Mr Eazi released exclusive wedding photos to Vogue Magazine, captioned “Mr and Mrs Ajibade,” confirming their new status. The images, paired with Temi’s updated social media identity, quickly went viral—triggering a wave of reactions across platforms.
While many praised the couple’s elegance and Temi’s decision to take her husband’s name, others questioned the cultural implications. Some critics argued that dropping the Otedola name was unnecessary, especially given its influence and legacy. Others saw it as a personal choice rooted in love and unity.
The debate has reignited long-standing conversations around marital identity, with feminist voices challenging the expectation that women must change their names after marriage. Temi’s decision, though deeply personal, has become a flashpoint in Nigeria’s evolving discourse on gender, tradition, and autonomy.
Despite the noise, the couple appears unfazed. Their wedding, blending global sophistication with Nigerian heritage, has positioned them as one of the most celebrated celebrity unions of the year. And for Temi, the name change seems to be more than symbolic—it’s a declaration of a new chapter.
