Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has revealed that he released his latest single, Comfort, to raise money to pay rent for his residence abroad.

The singer disclosed during a recent appearance on content creator Okikidft’s Twitch livestream, where he explained that he was still trying to raise money for rent despite his success in music and business.
“I still dey find rent. I wan pay rent, na why I even drop this song. No be my Lagos rent, na for where I dey stay,” he said in Pidgin English.

Comfort, a collaboration with Ghanaian-American singer MOLIY, was released in October 2026. The song blends Mr Eazi’s signature Banku Music sound with elements of Afrobeats, dancehall and R&B, with production by Nigerian hitmaker Ragee.

During the livestream, Mr Eazi also spoke about his neighbourhood abroad, revealing that he lives among prominent figures from the worlds of Formula One, tennis and football.

He expressed surprise at finding himself living in an area associated with such high-profile personalities, mentioning French footballer Paul Pogba among the people he could encounter in the neighbourhood.
“But where I dey stay na why all the — we give thanks to God, I no believe say I go first stay there — na where all the Formula One, tennis players stay,” he said.

“All of us, we are neighbours. So I fit just dey see Pogba… e dey make me like dey… They are very private people.”
The comments offer a glimpse into the financial realities behind the singer’s life abroad, even as he continues to build his music career and business interests.

Beyond music, Mr Eazi has established himself as an entrepreneur with investments across Africa. He co-founded PawaPay, a fintech company that facilitates payments across African markets, and runs emPawa Africa, a music company that supports African artists. He also launched Choplife, a nightlife and entertainment brand.
Speaking previously about his investments, the singer said he had backed businesses operating in 19 African countries, with one company processing millions of financial transactions daily.

Mr Eazi married Temi Otedola, daughter of Nigerian billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, in 2025.
His latest comments have drawn attention to the contrast between his expanding business portfolio and his admission that he released new music partly to meet a personal financial obligation.
