Temi Otedola Ajibade, the spouse of music executive Oluwatosin “Mr. Eazi” Ajibade, has shared how she and her husband handle communication when they are at odds.
Temi disclosed in a recent podcast episode that, even when they are in the same room, he frequently chooses to communicate his emotions via text.
She recalled a specific argument in which Mr. Eazi, instead of informing her directly, sent her a lengthy email expressing his displeasure.
She acknowledged that she was irritated by the scenario, particularly because she had repeatedly asked him if there was a problem.
“Now, I think he is working on it. The way I found out that Tosin was angry with me on a Monday was that he sent me this long message. Bear it in mind that we are sitting in the same flat. And me, minding my business, responding to my mail, and I got a message saying everything he was upset about me for,” she said.
“While I was reading it, my body was already becoming hot. At some point, I couldn’t even read it because I was so angry.
“Imagine I have asked this guy 10 times: ‘Are you upset with me?’ I was hot. Honestly, if you are in the same situation, I think it is childish not to go up and speak to them. Right now, that is what you are comfortable with. You find it easier to express yourself by typing. At least, you are getting out. But it will be nice if you express it to me.”
Responding, Mr. Eazi explained that texting helps him communicate difficult emotions without risking harshness or physical tension.
“I would prefer to do that. I see that sometimes when we sit down to talk, I do not hit the nail on the head. Because at the same time, I do not want to sound harsh. I do not want to because I am such a nice person,” he said.
“I think it is important for people to find the best way to communicate. For me, it is writing. When I want to be stone-cold, I can do it, so I can read it again to see what I have repeated.”
