Popular rapper, Jude Abaga, known for his professional name, M.I, has revealed how he met his wife, Eniola Mafe.
The rapper in an interview on Tay with Tea Podcast narrated how he had been in search of a partner to marry and how a friend had introduced his wife.
M.I said he had been on dating sites and that didn’t work out but he had remained hopeful for the one.
He said he had always fancied women on Afro and that had attracted him at first glance when he checked her profile on Instagram. He said he made his decision to marry her when they met.
M.I said, “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 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. 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.”
He tied the knot with his wife on September 22, 2022 in Lagos.
