Temi, Femi Otedola’s Billionaire Daughter Now Temi Ajibade & Affectionately Calls Her New Husband ‘Oko Mii’ (pics)

Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has officially changed her surname to Ajibade on Instagram, days after completing her high-profile marriage ceremonies to Afrobeats star Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi.

On Friday, Temi shared a wedding photograph on her Instagram page with the caption “Mr and Mrs Ajibade”.

The 29-year-old actress’s Instagram profile name on her verified page now carries “Temiloluwa Ajibade”, confirming the change of name that has since generated a wave of online reactions.

Her husband, popularly known by his stage name Mr Eazi, is Oluwatosin Ajibade, a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record executive.

The couple, who tied the knot in August, staged a string of glamorous weddings across three countries: a civil ceremony in Monaco, a Yoruba traditional wedding at the Otedola family residence in Dubai, and a church wedding in Iceland.

Surprisingly, Temi revealed yesterday that she and Eazi had held their court wedding since May.

“Let’s go back to the very start… On May 9th 2025, Mummy Ajibade’s Birthday ️, we had our Court Wedding in Monaco, exactly how we always imagined. Just the two of us. Love is Eazi Begins,” she wrote.

The surname change and shared photos have drawn reactions from celebrities like Davido, Simi, Veekee James, Toke Makinwa, Shallipopi, Dj Cuppy, Tacha, and Adesua, congratulating the couple

Their celebrations, attended by close family, friends, and international performers, blended Nigerian cultural rites with global flair.

Temi’s decision reignited a longstanding debate within Nigerian feminist and social circles after choosing to adopt her husband’s surname. Many had expected her to either retain the Otedola name tied to her father, Femi Otedola, or hyphenate it with Ajibade.

Back in August, feminist commentator Rachelle (@omo_kosoko) had argued on X that marriage should not compel women to drop their surnames, saying, “Four years married now, I have relocated, had a baby, held a joint account, travelled solo with my child and not one issue. Don’t let anyone lie to you.”
