Afrobeats star and entrepreneur Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has announced his intention to contest for the presidency in an unnamed African country.
The award-winning musician made the revelation in a video shared online, explaining that he had been reflecting deeply on taking a step into public service and now believes the time is right to act.
Mr Eazi, who is married to actress and billionaire heiress Temi Otedola, said his decision was inspired by a genuine desire to bring change — not by a pursuit of wealth or power.
“I have been thinking about it. I think it’s time to share it with you guys,” he said. “Some of you might be from some countries, specifically in Africa, and you are looking for a president — a president who is not looking for money and power but forward-thinking, young, active and can move your country better. So, I’m officially putting myself forward for the presidency.”
While the singer did not specify which country he intends to run in, his statement has sparked widespread conversation across social media, with fans and political commentators debating whether his move is symbolic or the start of a real political journey.
Mr Eazi, known for his pioneering role in the global Afrobeats movement and as founder of emPawa Africa, has long been vocal about youth empowerment, innovation, and the need for visionary leadership across the continent.
The announcement comes months after his wedding to Temi Otedola in Iceland, further solidifying the singer’s transition from pop star to global influencer with ambitions that reach beyond music.
