Rotimi Akinosho, the Nigerian American actor and singer known simply as Rotimi, has just dropped the visuals for his new single, "I Do," and it's got everyone talking. Starring his fiancée, Tanzanian singer-songwriter Vanessa Mdee, the music video depicts a beautiful wedding ceremony, fueling speculation that the couple may have already secretly tied the knot.
The song itself is a heartfelt ode to Vanessa, celebrating their love and commitment since their engagement back in 2020. Rotimi, born and raised in Maplewood, New Jersey to Nigerian parents of Yoruba heritage, clearly pours his heart out in the track, expressing his deep affection for the woman who has stood by him through thick and thin. The couple, who are parents to two adorable children, Seven and Imani, have been the subject of much attention since their engagement.
The music video, however, is what's truly set the internet ablaze. It portrays a picturesque wedding scene, with Vanessa walking down the aisle as Rotimi sings his vows. The visuals are stunning, and the chemistry between the couple is undeniable. This has led many fans to wonder if the video is more than just a dramatization, and if Rotimi and Vanessa have actually already said "I do."
The timing of the video's release has also added fuel to the fire. Fans have been playfully teasing the couple about their long engagement, with many commenting that it's high time Vanessa finally walked down the aisle. "They've been engaged forever!" one fan joked. "Is this their way of telling us they finally did it?" another chimed in.
Vanessa Mdee previously shared the story of how she and Rotimi met during his tour in Tanzania. She described a magical connection, a feeling of comfort and ease in his presence that she had never experienced before. Their story is a testament to the power of love to transcend borders and cultures.
While Rotimi and Vanessa have yet to officially confirm or deny the wedding rumors, the "I Do" music video has certainly stirred up excitement among their fans. Whether it's a clever ploy to build anticipation or a genuine reveal, the video has undoubtedly captured the hearts of many. One thing is for sure: Rotimi's love for Vanessa is clear, and their relationship continues to be a source of inspiration for many.
