Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Oluwatosin Ajibade, widely known as Mr Eazi, has dismissed a viral social media post falsely claiming that he and his wife, actress and fashion influencer Temi Otedola, have welcomed their first child.

The misleading post, shared on X, paired a photo from the couple’s traditional wedding with a set of AI-generated images depicting Temi holding a white baby. The images were presented as supposed “evidence” of the couple’s new arrival, quickly drawing attention and engagement from unsuspecting users.

Mr Eazi responded with characteristic dry humour, reposting the claim and asking, “Is Temi aware of this?” His brief comment was enough to signal that the story was entirely fabricated, while also highlighting the absurdity of the AI-edited images.

The couple, who have cultivated a relatively private approach to their relationship despite their high-profile status, did not issue a formal statement beyond his post. However, Mr Eazi’s reaction underscored growing concerns about the speed at which misinformation spreads online, especially when powered by convincing but fake visuals.

The use of artificial intelligence to generate or manipulate images has become a powerful tool in the hands of clout chasers and fake news peddlers. In this case, the AI-generated baby photos were crafted to look intimate and personal, exploiting public curiosity about the couple’s family life.

Fans of Mr Eazi and Temi quickly joined the conversation, with many mocking the fake post and praising the singer’s light-hearted response. Others used the moment to call for more responsible content sharing and fact-checking on social platforms, noting how easily such stories can be believed when attached to celebrity names.

Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola, daughter of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola, have long been in the public eye, from their engagement announcement to their widely followed wedding ceremonies. Their relationship has often attracted speculation, making them frequent targets of rumours and clickbait headlines.

The latest incident serves as another reminder of how digital tools can be misused to fabricate personal milestones for public figures. For now, the only “official” word on any baby news from the Ajibade-Otedola household remains Mr Eazi’s tongue-in-cheek question: “Is Temi aware of this?”
