Mr Eazi
Afrobeats singer and businessman Oluwatosin Ajibade, known as Mr Eazi, has announced that he wants to become a president in the future.
The Skin Tight hitmaker, who recently married Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, shared his plans in a video on Snapchat.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while,” he said. “Some of you might be from an African country looking for a president — someone young, active, not after money or power, but ready to move the country forward. I’m officially putting myself forward for the presidency.”
Although he is Nigerian, Mr Eazi has close ties with Ghana, where he studied and began his music career. He has often said that Ghana influenced his unique sound, which he calls Banku Music.
In recent years, more Nigerian celebrities have shown interest in politics. Actress Eniola Badmus recently said she hopes to become a senator, and former Senator Ben Bruce once predicted that singer Davido could become the Governor of Osun State.
Mr Eazi did not say which country he plans to run in, but his statement has already got fans talking across Africa.
