Afrobeats star Mr Eazi has revealed that he does not plan to allow his future child to own an iPhone for at least the first year, citing concerns over unrestricted internet access and the dangers of social media.

Speaking alongside his fiancée, Temi Otedola, the singer explained that while a child may use a phone for school if necessary, he is worried about how easily young people can access inappropriate content online.

“I won’t let my child use an iPhone for at least a year. They can use it in school if needed, but I’m really scared of social media and Google because they can search for anything,” Mr Eazi said.

My child will only fully own a phone of their own, when she’s 16 and that’s if she’s not living in the same house with me.
