From Ota to Accra to the UK: Mr Eazi’s Playbook for Flipping the Hustle
When Mr Eazi said “I be entrepreneur, me I be business,” he wasn’t playing.
Before the world knew him as the smooth-voiced Afrobeats export with bangers and billionaire in-laws, Oluwatosin Ajibade — aka Mr Eazi — was just a young hustler from Ota, Ogun State, doing everything from throwing uni parties to building tech products before tech was even sexy.
📍 Ota, Ogun State: Where the hustle started
Mr Eazi wasn’t born into opulence — he built his lane brick by brick. He studied engineering, but his eyes were always on business. Back then, it wasn’t about being an artist — it was about being useful. From selling phones and airtime to organizing events, he had his hands in everything.
🇬🇭 Accra, Ghana: Where the hustle matured
Uni in Ghana? For some, it’s a chance to soft life. For Eazi? It was bootcamp. He wasn’t just throwing parties — he monetized vibes. From party promotion to launching a successful campus shuttle service, this guy turned campus traffic into cash flow. All while experimenting with music on the side.
Ghana was where Mr Eazi the brand was born.
🇬🇧 London, UK: Where the hustle scaled
By the time Mr Eazi touched the UK scene, the foundation had been laid. But he didn’t stop at being just a global Afrobeats artist. He flipped the script by investing in tech startups, launching emPawa to support African artists, and building an empire that made even the Forbes guys start paying attention.
He’s not just chasing the bag — he’s building bags for others too.
💰What you can learn from Mr Eazi’s hustle
- Start where you are. Even if it’s Ota and all you have is ideas, start anyway.
- Diversify early. Eazi wasn’t waiting to blow musically before he moved smart financially.
- Turn your environment into opportunity. School in Ghana? That’s market access. A show in the UK? That’s global visibility. Know your leverage.
- Put others on. The real wealth is in creating room for others while you win.
Final Jiggy Words:
Mr Eazi didn’t wait for validation. He created it, monetized it, and exported it.
Whether you’re hustling from Ogbomosho, Oshodi, or Oxford — your location is not your limitation.
Just secure the bag.
Then build the vault.
