Singer and businessman Mr. Eazi has revealed that his wedding to Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, was not funded by his music earnings alone.

The clarification came after an X user claimed that the release of his latest single, Cassanova, was aimed at recouping wedding expenses.

Responding with humour, Mr. Eazi dismissed the claim, saying: “U think sey music go fit pay for that wedding my G? lol.”

Another user argued that his 2018 earnings could have covered the costs, but Mr. Eazi explained that despite having hit songs in 2017 and 2018, that period was actually one of his most financially-difficult time in the last 10 years.

“You got a point tho, but 2017-18 is the brokest I’ve been in the last 9 years! But all the music I put out then enter like mad sha I’m really thankful,” he wrote.

He expressed gratitude for the success of his music during that time, but made it clear that his wedding expenses were likely covered by other means.

Mr. Eazi and Temi Otedola got married in a private ceremony in Iceland, after getting engaged in London in April 2022. (The Nation)
