Afrobeats singer Mr. Eazi has explained the benefit of marrying a supportive spouse, saying it is one of the principles of success.
The ‘Zagadat’ crooner disclosed this in an interview with a Gambian content creator, who bumped into him and his wife, Temi Otedola, on the streets of London recently.
