Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi has sparked mixed reactions online after revealing that he placed a bet on the gender of his unborn child with his wife, Temi Otedola.
The music star made the disclosure in a post shared on his official X account, where he hinted at a wager over whether their first child together would be a boy or a girl.
In the post, Mr Eazi wrote:
“I just bet on if Temi Ajibade & Mr Eazi are having a boy or girl.”
Although the singer did not reveal which gender he predicted, his comment quickly drew attention from fans and social media users, many of whom were surprised that he turned such a personal family moment into a public guessing game.
The Mr Eazi baby gender bet announcement has since generated debate online. While some followers viewed it as a harmless joke between the couple, others criticised the singer for encouraging fans to wager on the gender of his unborn child.
The controversy comes weeks after Temi Otedola announced that she is expecting her first child with Mr Eazi. The actress and fashion influencer shared maternity photos showing off her baby bump alongside a Bible verse.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, Before you were born I set you apart.”
The pregnancy announcement attracted congratulatory messages from celebrities, fans, and well-wishers.
Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola have been together for several years. The couple got engaged in 2022 before officially tying the knot in a series of wedding ceremonies in 2025.
As reactions continue to trail the Mr Eazi baby gender bet, some fans have expressed curiosity about whether the couple will eventually reveal the baby’s gender before birth. In contrast, others believe certain family moments should remain private.
What do you think? Was Mr Eazi simply having fun with fans, or did he take things too far?
