“Why Drop Otedola for Ajibade?” – Lady Questions Temi Otedola’s Name Change After Marriage to Mr Eazi

A Nigerian lady has sparked heated debate online after questioning Temi Otedola’s decision to replace her famous surname with that of her husband, singer Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, better known as Mr Eazi.

In a viral video shared by Twitter influencer @ChuksEricE, the lady wondered why Temi, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, would give up a name that carries so much weight and influence in Nigeria’s social and business circles.

“How can you change a powerful name like Otedola to Ajibade because of marriage? They came to you because of the name, now you’re changing it,” she said, visibly emotional in the clip.

Her comments came after fans noticed a subtle update on Temi’s Instagram bio. Following her white wedding ceremony with Mr Eazi, the actress and fashion blogger now identifies herself as Temi Ajibade, officially adopting her husband’s surname.

The video has since triggered a wave of mixed reactions online. While some fans agreed that the Otedola name carries generational prestige, others defended Temi’s choice, insisting marriage should come with personal freedom and identity.

As the debate continues, Temi herself has yet to directly address the viral conversation.

However, her quiet but symbolic Instagram update has already made headlines across Nigerian entertainment spaces.
