Why I Dropped ‘Otedola’ and Took ‘Ajibade’ After Marriage — Temi, Mr Eazi’s Wife

Actress Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has revealed why she chose to adopt her husband’s surname, Ajibade, after marrying Afrobeats star Mr Eazi.

In a recent interview with the BBC, Temi explained that the decision was a personal choice she made once she tied the knot, adding that while it felt natural for her, she respects every woman’s right to decide for herself.

“I’m now a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. But it’s my personal choice… I also respect a woman’s ability to choose,” she said.

On Privacy and Independence

Temi further emphasized that privacy has been central to her relationship and personal growth. According to her, keeping things low-key helps her control her own narrative, choosing when and how to share intimate details with the public.

Now officially Temi Ajibade, the actress continues to balance her career, family identity, and public life under a new chapter.
