Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola at their wedding, intimate portrait

In an era where celebrity unions are often fleeting and overexposed, the marriage between Afrobeats star Mr Eazi and billionaire heiress Temi Otedola emerged as a masterclass in discretion, elegance, and intentional storytelling. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was a transcontinental celebration of love, culture, legacy and strategy.

Let’s separate the spectacle from the verified facts.

Who Is Mr Eazi, Really?

Known globally for pioneering Banku music and pushing Afrobeats into Silicon Valley boardrooms, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, a.k.a. Mr Eazi, is far more than a singer. He’s a tech investor, a founder of emPawa Africa, and a Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 alumnus. His brand sits at the intersection of music, venture capital, and pan-African storytelling.

So when he proposed to Temi Otedola daughter of oil magnate and philanthropist Femi Otedola the world didn’t just watch; it recalibrated.

The Engagement That Started It All

On April 10, 2022, Temi broke the internet with a silent, cinematic Instagram post: a ring, a question, and a setting sun over Venice. What many missed was the layered storytelling. The proposal doubled as the set for Mr Eazi’s single “Legalize,” with Temi as the muse. The video itself became a visual metaphor for the journey they were about to begin art imitating love.

A Wedding for the History Books: The Three-Part Ceremony

What followed was one of the most intentional, luxurious, and culturally rich weddings in recent Nigerian history unfolding over three countries in three distinct ceremonies, each reflecting a facet of their identities.

1. The Monaco Civil Ceremony – Elegance with Legacy

  • Date: May 9, 2025

  • Location: Mairie de Monaco, Monte Carlo

  • Why it mattered: The couple tied the knot on the birthday of Mr Eazi’s late mother, adding emotional gravity to a typically bureaucratic ceremony.

  • Reception: Held at Villa La Vigie, once home to Karl Lagerfeld a nod to Temi’s fashion roots and high couture heritage.

This was not just a civil union. It was a message: We are not here to perform, we are here to preserve. Quiet, intimate, but monumental in meaning.

2. Yoruba Traditional Wedding in Dubai – Culture Meets Coutur

  • Date: July 2025

  • Location: The Otedola residence, Dubai

  • Why Dubai? Privacy, security, and the ability to host a curated guest list of Nigeria’s most powerful names without the Lagos paparazzi.

Temi wore four custom outfits by Zac Posen, Miss Sohee, Lisa Folawiyo, and Oscar de la Renta a fusion of Yoruba tradition and global fashion. The décor recreated the vibrancy of Lagos markets inside a lavish desert tent.

Special moments:

  • King Sunny Adé performed live.

  • Temi’s declaration of “my oko” (my husband) moved even hardened business tycoons to tears.

  • Native Yoruba rites were performed to honor ancestors and unite the families.

This wasn’t just fashion-forward. It was a cultural manifesto.

3. The Icelandic White Wedding – Love at the Edge of the Earth

  • Date: August 8, 2025

  • Location: Hallgrímskirkja Church, Reykjavik, Iceland

  • Why Iceland? The couple fell in love with the country’s raw, untouched beauty and it offered a symbolic “clean slate” far from the noise of celebrity.

Temi wore Fendi Haute Couture, while Mr Eazi donned a classic Saint Laurent tux. A glass-dome dinner in the middle of a volcanic plain hosted guests like John Legend, Diplo, and Africa’s top CEOs like, Aliko Dangote, Abdul Samad Rabiu, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko & Nana Adjoa Hackman.

The highlight?
Guests took a midnight plunge into geothermal hot springs, champagne in hand, under the northern lights. In true Afropolitan style, this wasn’t excess it was epic intimacy.
