‘How I met my wife’- M.I

The renowned rapper, M.I, recently shared his personal journey of going through a painful breakup with his previous girlfriend prior to meeting his current wife.

According to the rapper, he experienced a period of trying to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend without success, which eventually led him to accept the need to move on and seek a new relationship.

In his quest to find love, M.I even experimented with dating apps, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find the perfect match he was seeking.

During this time, Audu Maikori, the co-founder of Chocolate City, reportedly suggested that M.I consider marrying Eniola Mafe, who would later become his wife.

In a candid conversation on the recent Tea With Tay podcast episode, M.I shared the profound moment when he realized that his wife was the one for him, the instant they first met.

He 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 [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.”
