In the glittering annals of Afrobeats royalty, where love meets luxury on a global stage, Mr Eazi’s fairy-tale wedding to Temi Otedola has just gotten the ultimate co-sign from an international icon. On September 18, 2025, during a laid-back chat on Kai Cenat’s wildly popular Twitch stream, EGOT winner John Legend let slip the jaw-dropping logistics that made the Nigerian singer’s nuptials legendary. “A Nigerian artist named Mr Eazi got married a few weeks ago. He brought his whole family and his entire crew to Iceland,” Legend marveled, eyes wide with genuine awe at the sheer scale of hospitality. The “All of Me” crooner, who serenaded the couple with a surprise performance, admitted he’d never seen anything like it—flying an entire entourage across continents for a wedding? That’s next-level baller status, even for a Grammy magnet like Legend.
The ceremony itself, held in the ethereal landscapes of Iceland earlier this month, was a masterclass in opulent romance. Mr Eazi—real name Oluwatosin Ajibade—popped the question to Temi, the stylish daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, back in 2022 after a seven-year courtship that blended boardrooms and beats. What unfolded was a multi-day extravaganza blending Naija flair with Nordic chill: think volcanic backdrops, private jets, and a guest list boasting Afrobeats heavyweights like Joeboy, Minat, and Odumodublvck, plus Nollywood stars and global elites. Legend’s set was the cherry on top—a heartfelt surprise for Temi, with clips of him crooning classics like “Ordinary People” amid twinkling lights going viral days later. Broda Shaggi, who rubbed shoulders with Legend at the event, later dubbed their bond “love wey pass Titanic,” capturing the over-the-top vibes that had everyone buzzing.
This isn’t Mr Eazi’s first flex on the world stage. The emPawa Africa founder, who’s collabed with everyone from Major Lazer to Beyoncé, has always preached “legalized love” with a side of philanthropy—his foundation’s empowered thousands of African artists. Tying the knot with Temi, a powerhouse in her own right as an actress and entrepreneur, felt like destiny scripted by Nollywood. Their pre-wedding in Lagos was low-key chic, but Iceland? Pure spectacle. Legend’s anecdote amps up the lore: not just a destination wedding, but a full-family import operation, complete with crew to keep the party pulsing. “I’ve performed at a lot of weddings, but this… he flew everyone out,” Legend chuckled to Cenat, who could only react with wide-eyed shock.
X, that Naija gossip hub, erupted faster than a Davido diss track. The clip from Cenat’s stream racked up over 3,400 likes and 200 reposts in hours, with users crowning Mr Eazi the “king of quiet flex.” “Kai Cenat shocked, we shocked—Mr Eazi no dey loud am, but e dey do am proper!” one fan tweeted, while another quipped, “John Legend at your wedding? Na God level be that. 9ja to the world.” Envy mixed with admiration flowed freely: “Davido go borrow humility from Mr Eazi—invite Legend, pay $1.2M, no noise,” shaded a witty post, nodding to the singer’s rumored fee. Comedian Broda Shaggi’s pics with Legend turned into meme gold, and outlets like NOTJUSTOK amplified the tea, calling it “the performance that sealed the deal.” Even skeptics melted, with one user sighing, “God when? Me too I want John Legend serenading my forever.”
Legend’s spill cements Mr Eazi’s bash as 2025’s pinnacle of Naija weddings—extravagant yet earnest, a testament to love that spares no expense or passport stamp. In an era of IG flexes, it’s the subtle grandeur that steals the show: not shouting about the jet, but making sure the squad’s there to witness the vows. As Cenat put it mid-reel, “That’s wild!”—and honestly, in the game of global glamour, Mr Eazi just raised the bar. If this is “legalized love,” sign us up for the sequel.
