Few minutes later, the multi-award winning singer, also took to his
social media page to share his love story with the actress and also
announced their engagement and prospective celebrity wedding.
Here's how the 'Wedding Party' actor, narrated the love story and engagement on social media;
*********************************************
We crossed paths 2 or 3 times since 2012, but I wasn't paying
enough attention. Destiny was staring me right in the face and I was too
caught up in my own hustle and paper chase, to know it. In June 2015
however, God brought you my way again, and this time, I really SAW you.
I was smitten by your grace, aura, and beauty. So smitten infact,
that even though I didn't get to say a word to you that day (because you
were seated far across the room), I immediately called my best friend
@captdemuren and told him I'd found my next girlfriend. LOL. He laughed.
I asked one or two people about you.. your manager Isioma, who I'd
worked with previously, and then I did some research myself. Googled
you, stalked your instagram.. the whole 9 yards, and the more I found
out, the more you seemed like a breath of fresh air.
Now I personally don't like being "hooked up", so I decided to
approach you myself by sliding into your DM a few days later. Introduced
myself, made some silly attempts to make you laugh, told you I planned
to become your biggest fan, and asked if we could be friends.
Thank God you laughed at my silly jokes, and thank God you
graciously agreed to become my friend. At the time, I was COMPLETELY
lying about only wanting to be friends, by the way.. but I figured it
was a safe place to start.
Since that DM, I've spoken to you pretty much every single day for
almost 2 years. Sometimes, in the morning, at night and in between. We
clicked instantly, and you quickly became one of my favourite people on
earth, and one of my closest friends. It got to the point where my day
wouldn't quite feel right without speaking to you. I needed your
friendship. I needed, and still need, the bond we share. It completes
me.
I knew pretty early in the process that I wanted to spend forever
with you. Prayed about it fervently. But it took you FOREVER (okay
fine.. maybe a year and a half or so) to see things my way. But I kinda
knew all along.. I was just waiting for you to catch up.
In that time, I got engaged to you in my "made for you" music
video... and by pure coincidence, we both got cast to get married in the
wedding party movie.. but all the while we were the very best of
friends. I guess, in our case, real life will now imitate art.
I'm not sure what the future will bring, but I'm completely sure
that I am ready to face it with you by my side. I pray that God
continues to build me into the kind of man that you deserve. I love you
Susu.. I feel safe and at peace with you. You mean the world to me.
Thank you for agreeing to be my lover and best friend. Thank you for
agreeing to be my wife.
PS: The timing of this may make some people think this is promo for another video, or a movie. It isn't.
Ironically, everyone who has seen us together in art, or in life,
always insists that we have amazing chemistry. I guess you can say we
have been hiding in plain sight. I fell in love with an Actress. Now my
life is a movie.
In February of 2017, I asked Adesua Tolulope Oluwaseun Etomi to be my wife. She said Yes.
