M.I disclosed that he had experienced a terrible breakup with his previous girlfriend before meeting his wife.
The rapper claimed that after trying in vain to patch things up with his ex-girlfriend, he decided to move on and find a new relationship.
The Rapper claims that he even tried using dating apps to find love, but he was unable to locate his ideal partner there.
The rapper claimed that afterward, co-founder of Chocolate City Audu Maikori suggested that his wife Eniola Mafe be married.
In the most recent Tea With Tay podcast episode, he talked about how he knew his wife was the one for him the moment he met her.
In his words:
“When I was ready to marry and I wanted to meet someone, I was like, ‘As a celebrity, how do you meet someone? How do you date?’ I even tried dating apps but I didn’t find my ideal woman there. So, I was like, I would just ask people. I asked Audu [Maikori] and he was like, ‘There’s this girl called Eniola Mafe.’ And I was like, ‘Let’s see.’ As he was saying it, I pulled her up on Instagram. Now, when I was younger, I used to say the woman I wanted to marry had an Afro [hairstyle]. I pulled up her DP and she had an Afro.
“I went on her page, I was like, ‘Are you guys telling me that this woman is not married? Is it that she’s divorced?’ That was my first thought based on what I saw, how she looked, and the things she was into. You know, when you see that kind of opportunity, you go sit up. So, I now hit her up. I followed her. The next day, she saw something on my story; she responded to it and we started chatting. As soon as we started talking, we never stopped talking. The next time we spoke, we spoke for two hours. The third time we spoke, we spoke for three hours.
“When I met Eniola, I realised that I just met someone whose story I wanted to continue to be part of. And that’s what marriage is. Everything else just flows from there.”
