The internet is abuzz with news that Nigerian actress and entrepreneur Temi Otedola has officially changed her surname to Ajibade following her marriage to Afrobeats star Oluwatosin Ajibade, widely known as Mr Eazi. The public confirmation of the name change came when Otedola updated her profile name on Instagram to “Temiloluwa Ajibade” and captioned a recent wedding photograph with “Mr and Mrs Ajibade,” according to a report by Channels Television on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
The couple's highly anticipated union, which has been chronicled across social media, culminated in a series of wedding ceremonies spanning three countries. The celebrations began with a civil ceremony in Monaco on May 9, 2025, followed by a traditional Yoruba wedding in Dubai, and concluded with a church wedding in Iceland on August 8, 2025. The final ceremony in Iceland was an intimate affair held at the famous Hallgrímskirkja Church.
The decision by the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola to adopt her husband's name has prompted a renewed and vigorous online debate about a woman's choice to change her surname after marriage. While some social media users have praised the move as a sign of commitment, others have questioned why she would abandon her father’s influential surname.
During the wedding festivities, Temi Otedola's father, Femi Otedola, offered some traditional advice to his daughter. In his speech, he stated, "You have to succumb to your husband; he's your boss. Temi, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. You found a great guy. Very great guy. Blessed guy. He comes from a very decent family." This sentiment has also fueled the conversation online, with some interpreting his words as a reflection of deep-rooted Nigerian cultural expectations of marriage.
Despite the various opinions circulating, Temi Otedola and Mr Eazi have continued to share moments from their union, solidifying their status as one of the most celebrated couples of the year. Their journey together, which blends film, music, fashion, and business, has captured the attention of fans and well-wishers across the globe.
