Temi Otedola, actress and daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has sparked heated reactions online after officially adopting her husband Mr Eazi’s surname, Ajibade.

The fashion influencer, who tied the knot with the award-winning singer recently, updated her name to “Temi Ajibade,” a move that has triggered mixed responses, especially among women on social media.

Some critics argued that the decision represents a regression in the fight for women’s independence and identity. A user wrote, “One step forward, 15 backwards. Pffft.” Another added that classed women need to understand and help lead by example.

However, others defended Temi, noting that taking a husband’s surname is a matter of personal choice and devotion. One supporter said, “She’s probably deeply devoted to him and sees that as a way to show it. Just angry at the men that will use this as a goal.”

The debate highlights the growing cultural tension between traditional marital expectations and modern feminism, with Temi’s decision reigniting conversations about whether adopting a spouse’s surname should still be the norm.

For many, the actress’s choice reflects love and commitment, while for others, it is a setback in the movement for women’s autonomy.
