Nigerian actress and the wife of singer Mr Eazi, Temi Otedola, has disclosed that her husband keeps malice and avoids confrontation whenever he is angry with her.
She revealed this during an episode of their joint podcast, where she characterised his approach as “a bit childish", stating that he often resorts to sending lengthy messages rather than discussing the problems in person.
She recounted a specific moment when she realised he was angry with her through an email, even though they were both inside the same apartment at the time.
“The way I found out that Tosin [Mr Eazi] was actually angry with me on a Monday was that he sent me a long message. And bear in mind that we are sitting in the same flat.
“I was minding my own business, responding to my emails, and I got a message saying everything he was angry about. 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.
Because I have asked him repeatedly if he was upset with me, and he didn’t respond. Honestly, if you’re in the same flat as someone else, I think it is a bit childish not to go up and speak to them.
“Yes, but that is what you’re comfortable with. You find it easier to express yourself by typing. I have got some long emails in the past. At least you’re getting it out. But it would be nice if you could just sit down with me and have it out,” she stated.
Reacting, Mr Eazi conceded that he prefers to express his feelings through writing rather than verbal communication, especially when situations are tense.
“I would prefer to sit down with you and talk things out. But I see that sometimes when we sit down to talk, I don’t hit the nail on the head. Also, I think if I communicate during tense moments, I might sound too harsh.
“I don’t think texting someone you’re sitting next to is the best way to communicate. But that is my way. And everybody just needs to find what their way of expression is and communicate. For me, it’s writing.
“When I want to really express myself, I can do it through writing better than speaking. Because then I can read it again and cross-check my tone,” he added.
