Mr Eazi has finally responded to months of speculation about his grey hair, jokingly telling fans he is a 'Targaryen' and has been hiding the secret all along. The Nigerian singer and entrepreneur recently shared a humorous video on social media in which he addressed the growing debate over whether his grey strands were caused by stress, genetics or dye.
Airport encounter sparks revelation
According to Mr Eazi, the questions have become so frequent that he felt compelled to set the record straight. In the video, he recalled being approached at an airport by someone who wanted answers about his hair. 'Yesterday at the airport, somebody came to me and was asking me some questions about my hair and how they've been debating about the hair. Is it genetics? Is it dye? Is it stress?' he said.
The singer then paused before delivering his unexpected explanation. 'I think because Sunday is almost here, I should just let you guys know the real truth behind my hair. So I'm happy to let you guys know that I'm a Targaryen. I am a Targaryen and I've been keeping that from you guys.'
Fans react to the joke
His comment sparked reactions online, with many fans recognising the joke as a reference to the fictional House Targaryen from the popular television series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, whose members are famous for their distinctive silver and white hair. The latest joke is only the newest chapter in a conversation that has followed Mr Eazi for months.
Earlier this year, fans began noticing the singer's grey hair in photos and videos, leading to widespread speculation across social media. Rather than offer a serious explanation, the musician embraced the attention and turned it into a running joke. In one viral video, he jokingly reintroduced himself as 'Sir Eazi' while showing off his grey strands. At the time, he said fans should add 'Sir' to his name because he was no longer 'anybody's mate.'
Theories from fans
The comment generated thousands of reactions, with fans offering their own theories about the cause of the grey hair. Some suggested that the pressures of managing multiple businesses could be responsible. Beyond music, Mr Eazi has built a reputation as a successful entrepreneur through ventures such as emPawa Africa, a platform dedicated to supporting emerging African artistes. Others jokingly linked the grey strands to married life following his marriage to Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola. A number of fans, however, argued that the singer's grey hair was simply a natural sign of maturity and had nothing to do with stress.
A choice for humour
With his latest 'Targaryen' revelation, Mr Eazi appears to have chosen humour over explanation once again. While fans may still be debating the real cause of the grey hair, the singer has made it clear that he is enjoying the conversation just as much as everyone else.
