Nigerian music star Mr Eazi has revealed why he didn’t own a car during the early days of his relationship with Temi Otedola and his reason is all about mindset and money.
The singer explained that he deliberately chose not to buy a car because he viewed cars as liabilities rather than assets. Instead of spending heavily on something that depreciates, he preferred to invest his money in more meaningful ventures.
Mr Eazi disclosed that he didn’t even own a car while dating Temi, despite her background as the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola. He added that he only got his first car in 2021, emphasizing that his decision had nothing to do with lack of funds but everything to do with financial discipline and priorities.
The singer has long maintained this philosophy, previously stating that he saw no reason to spend huge amounts on a car he might barely use. He also noted that using ride-hailing services like Uber made more practical sense for his lifestyle at the time.
His comments have sparked reactions online, with many praising his unconventional approach to wealth and lifestyle, while others expressed surprise that he maintained such a stance even while dating someone from a wealthy background.
Ultimately, Mr Eazi’s revelation highlights a broader perspective: for him, wealth isn’t about appearances or luxury purchases, but about smart decisions, long-term value, and financial independence.
