Mr Eazi

 

Married to Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire, Femi Otedola, Mr Eazi; whose birth name is Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade has stated that he does not smoke.

 

During an interview with Vanguard in 2017, when asked if the rumours that he smokes and takes alcohol before going on stage was true, Eazi said: “To be honest i feed off the energy of the crowd, that’s why i don’t perform where people are just sitting down so just think about it. I’ve not performed where anybody is sitting down before; i drink water and not alcohol, it’s the energy from the crowd that gingers me. If the crowd is energetic I’ll also be energetic, if the crowd is dull then it’ll affect me, i’ll just vibe through the session and move on.”

 

It is very possible that there are other artistes who do not smoke that are not on this list mainly because they are yet to publicly announce it. However, remember that smoking is not healthy and smokers are liable to die young.
