Mr Eazi Opens Up About the Financial Realities Behind His Wedding to Temi Otedola

Popular Nigerian artist and businessman Mr Eazi has disclosed that the expenses of his wedding to actress Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, far exceeded what his music career alone could finance.

Addressing Speculations on Wedding Costs and Music Revenue

The Leg Over singer responded candidly to a social media comment suggesting that his latest track, Cassanova, was a strategic move to recover the costs of his extravagant wedding. Mr Eazi humorously dismissed this notion, stating, “Do you really think my music earnings could cover that wedding, my guy? Lol.”

Reflecting on Financial Challenges Despite Musical Success

Another follower argued that Mr Eazi’s income from 2018 should have been sufficient to fund the lavish event. In reply, the artist acknowledged that although he released several hit songs during that period, it was ironically one of his most financially strained phases in nearly a decade.

He explained, “You have a point, but 2017-18 was the toughest financial stretch I’ve faced in nine years. Still, the music I dropped then performed exceptionally well, and I’m truly grateful for that.”
