- Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola’s daughter, Temi, tied the knot with Afrobeats star Mr Eazi in a wedding said to cost $15m
- The three-part celebration across Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland is now ranked as the most expensive wedding in African history
- The wedding budget surpassed that of Folorunso Alakija’s son and Davido’s luxury wedding earlier this year, according to Billionaires Africa
When billionaire businessman Femi Otedola’s daughter, Temi Otedola, said “I do” to Afrobeats sensation Mr Eazi, it was more than just a wedding.
According to Billionaires Africa, the grand trilogy of ceremonies cost a jaw-dropping $15 million (over ₦22 billion).
It is now ranked as the most expensive wedding ever recorded on the continent.

Otedola’s wedding more expensive than Davido’s
It tripled the $5 million wedding of billionaire Folorunso Alakija’s son. Also, comfortably eclipsed Afrobeats megastar Davido’s much-publicized $3.5 million wedding earlier this year.
The couple’s love story was sealed in not one, not two, but three exotic destinations: Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.
Each stop carried its own unique theme and level of luxury. Monaco glittered with old-money elegance, Dubai dazzled with opulent desert glamour, and Iceland brought cinematic magic with icy landscapes.
According to the report, the guests described the event as a perfect blend of Nigerian culture and global extravagance, a true reflection of Afrobeats’ international dominance.
For Otedola, who sits on a fortune of $1.5 billion, it was a moment to give his daughter a wedding that will be remembered for generations.
Otedola opens up on buying two mansions for wedding
TheTalk.NG recalled that Otedola revealed how a simple request from Temi changed his 15-year rule.
According to him, during a sightseeing trip in Dubai, the family toured a luxury mansion. Temi, who rarely makes demands, looked at her father and said, “Papa, you know I can have my engagement ceremony in this house, why don’t you buy it?”
Eight months later, lightning struck twice. The same agent invited Otedola to view a newly completed house on the same street. Out of curiosity, he checked it out and found it beautiful, but unnecessary.
That changed when Temi visited. After showing her the property, she jokingly suggested it would be perfect for her after-party.
Both homes ended up hosting some of the most memorable moments of the Otedola–Eazi wedding, with one serving as the engagement venue and the other hosting the after-party.

Two incidents that almost destroyed Temi’s wedding
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Femi Otedola delivered an honest speech at his daughter Temi’s wedding to singer Mr Eazi.
Recalling the first time Temi introduced Mr Eazi (real name Tosin Ajibade) to him back in 2017, Otedola confessed that he wasn’t impressed by the singer’s appearance.
The billionaire also shared how two unexpected incidents nearly disrupted their plans.
