Nigerian-born singer, actor, and songwriter Rotimi and Tanzanian singer Vanessa Mdee have welcomed their 2nd child. Taking to social media, a jubilant Rotimi celebrated his wife after sharing an adorable photo of them in the delivery room.
He gushed over Mdee and wrote;
”When You Go Through Life And Find Someone That Will Smile With You Through Any Type Of Adversity … When You Find Someone That Through Any Type Of Hurdles They Will Still Find A Way To Laugh With You … When Fear Arises Their First Instinct Is To Grab Your Hand So You Both Can Share Your Bravery … JUST KNOW YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY FOUND YOUR SOUL MATE ❤️????”
It’s blessings on blessings for the two lovebirds; who have reportedly welcomed a baby girl. Their first child was born in September 2021 and was a baby boy monikered Seven Adeoluwa Akinosho.
Rotimi and Mdee met at an Essence Magazine Festival afterparty in New Orleans and have been “inseparable ever since,” as Rotimi put it at the time: “Vee headed back to Africa [at the time], but we quickly realized we couldn’t and didn’t want to live without each other.”
The two lovebirds are exuberant over their journey as parents and will probably have more of them as they continue being together.
Former singer Vanessa Mdee now understands how it feels to be a mum; and the best part is that she has the best support system; helping her through the sleepless nights with baby Seven.

So far she has toned down on being active on social media; and of course her fans understand that baby now comes first; and him being barely a month means more work for the new parents.
Anyway, despite the social media break – the Tanzanian media personality recently shared a new photo parading baby Seven.
Although his face remains hidden from the public, the black and white picture – is the first full photo of the new born shared since birth. Captioning it, Vanessa wrote;

Rotimi and Vanessa Mdee who are currently married welcomed their first child on On Wednesday (Sept. 29), as the “In My Bed” singer took to Instagram to announce the news; as well as shared the baby’s name, which is Seven Adeoluwa Akinosho.
Not sure how long they plan on keeping their son off social media; but being a celebrity baby – chances are that fans will get to see his face pretty soon.
American-Nigerian actor, singer and model Rotimi, along with his gorgeous lover Vanessa Mdee; have been giving couples goosebumps with their perennial romantic relationship. Most women have admired the gentleman in Rotimi; praying to also get such men.

To begin with, the actor was seen splashing huge chunks of notes to Vanessa; who couldn’t help herself but whisper in awe.
Rotimi did not stop at that. He has now bought a brand new 2021 Range Rover for Vanessa Mdee. Showing off the car keys on her Instagram, she captioned;
”CAPITAL G-O-D…
When he hands you the keys to your brand new 2021 Range ????”
Vanessa’s excitement was evident; as she continued to flaunt the brand new road monster on her Insta stories.

On the other hand, Rotimi also bought himself his own car, same type. According to him, the car was his first self-bought ride.
”This is my first car. So it’s a blessing right now. This is the product of starving and distractions; this is the product of doing things the right way. It is a product of making quality products, music, being a good human, God, spirituality. It’s a product of doing what you say you’re going to do. I’m very proud of me and my team…”
Below are some of the reactions from Vanessa Mdee’s Instagram post after the magnificent gift.
After years of fighting for her relationship with ex, Juma Jux – Vanessa Mdee finally let go in 2018; but fans got to learn about the break up in 2019 after Juma Jux introduced his Asian lover.
For some reason this left Vanessa Mdee facing trolls from fans who felt that she was not as good as the new lady in her exes (Juma’s) life. Others went on to suggest that the guy may have dumped her for not having kids; but who said kids can mend a broken relationship?

Anyway, Juma Jux’ fun came to an end as soon as it started; and while others thought he dumped the Asian lady to get back to his collage sweetheart (Vee) – turns out that Ms Mde had other plans!
Fiancé spoiling Vanessa
Well in 2019 we finally met the handsome man that won and healed Vanessa Mdee’s broken heart; and unlike many expected, Vanessa introduced ‘Rotimi’ who starred as Andre Coleman on American TV series, Power.
Tanzanian-Nigerian couple, Vanessa Mdee and Rotimi
After a year of dating, the two got engaged in 2020 and now we await for the wedding (hopefully)this 2021. However as Valentine’s Day draws closer, Rotimi has been spoiling his fiancé silly!
As seen on Vanessa Mdee’s page, we understand that the fiancé gifted her a bouquet of flowers from Dose of Roses ; and are estimated to cost Ksh, 50,000.
This has however left many talking on social media; as most throw shade at Juma Jux for never spoiling Vanessa like Rotimi has been doing.
But come to think of it, which local man would spend Ksh 50,000 on perishable goods? Not in Bongo or Kenya, I can assure you.
After break up with Juma Jux, former singer Vanessa Mdee took a while before moving on. Jux on the other hand had a backup plan – but his relationship with his Asian lady did not last for 6 months.
Vanessa Mdee however somewhere along her single life managed to bump into American actor, Rotimi who swept her off her feet. Yes, just as unprepared as her fans – Vanessa Mdee did not see herself falling in love ever again; especially after the bitter breakup that left her heartbroken.

But it appears Cupid wasn’t either ready to give up on her and this is how she bagged Rotimi. The two love birds have so far been together for about a year; and thanks to Mdee’s message to Rotimi as he turns a year older – we now believe the two are meant for each other.
Vanessa Mdee’s birthday message to Rotimi
Celebrating Rotimi’s latest song that she featured on and the same time his birthday; Vanessa Mdee not only poured out her heart to her man – but confirmed that she may never look back now that her heart is settled.
Through her IG page the lass went on to jot a detailed post where she wrote;
Tanzanian-Nigerian couple, Vanessa Mdee and Rotimi
( Link in bio ) Story time;
what a difference a year makes, to think we were out GQing in Abu Dhabi last year and today we sit in our home and virtually connect with the world. My baby your heart is huge and in true Ro style on your birthday you continue to give, honored to be your eve in life and in this visual masterpiece.So everyone has in one way or another been affected by the pandemic ???? . Some more than others but one thing is for sure we were forced into isolation. We were forced to sit still and either be away from family or joint at the hip. In our case we’ve spent every single day together and to say we’ve grown is an understatement.
Normal couple
Just like any other normal couple, Vanessa Mdee says her relationship with Rotimi has faced all challenges; but since love always wins, they have used these lessons to grow and build themselves.
In the long post Ms Mdee went on to add;
We have been pruned, plucked, groomed, cultivated, restored … it’s been a beautiful experience and personally this is our new normal and everyday in isolation with you sounds about perfect. Now I say this to say with every dark cloud ( COVID ) there’s a silver lining. We were sitting around having breakfast and we caught lightning in a bottle with #LoveSomebody there’s no other way to explain it. The inception of it was divine. GOD IS LOVE. LOVE IS GOD! This song represents that exactly and the world needs it desperately now. Happy birthday my King ???? @rotimi
Well, fans would have loved to see her with Juma Jux; but hey, he couldn’t make her as happy as Rotimi does….so it is what it is!
Vanessa Mdee is quite angry at the fact that people have been spreading false stories about her boyfriend, Rotimi.
According to her management, a few fans here and there have been asking whether rumors claiming Rotimi has been abusive to the singer are true.
This comes after one of Rotimi’s ex girlfriends opened up about her experience with an abusive boyfriend back in the day.
Rotimi’s ex girlfriend, Christina Rodgers
However, during Vanessa’s recent dive deep with Vanessa Mdee podcast show; the former singer bashed those spreading the lies saying;
I will not be bullied on social media; I will not be that person Wanahabari wataandika kitu juu yangu alafu nitabaki kimya. Team yangu ya social media, imenijuza kuhusu comments kutokana na watu kusema kuwa Rotimi ananipiga; ati ni mtu ambaye anapiga wanawake.
Vanessa Mdee with her bae
She went on to add Rotimi is not the type of man to hurt a woman; leave alone lay a finger on her! Vanessa who has been dating the guy for a few months now – portrayed her boyfriend as the best thing that ever happened to her as she added;
Number one, that is so far from the truth, sio ukweli na ni kitu ambacho kinaweza kuharibu sifa heshima ya Mwanaume au Mwanamke, especially when it’s not true. So nataka ku-clarify kitu kabla sijaendelea, imetokana na post ambayo ameandika ex-wake Rotimi. Ex wake Rotimi alikuwa anamzungumzia Ex-wake mwingine sio Rotimi na ameweka Wazi kuwa sio Rotimi anayemzungumzia…
Mistaken identity
For those who still don’t know; the ex refereed to by Rotimi’s former girlfriend is another man and not the Power actor.
Tanzanian-Nigerian couple, Vanessa Mdee and Rotimi
To Vanessa Mdee, Rotimi’s ex was only using her story to educate women who have been stuck in abusive relationships; giving them hope that life moves despite having an ugly past. Ms Mdee concluded her podcast saying;
So yeye aliandika blog post zamani akimzungumzia Ex-wake sio Rotimi akisema yakwamba alikuwa na mipango na yeye na vitu vingi. Alikuwa anajaribu Kuguza jamii na wanawake ambao wamepitia vitu vingi kama hivyo.
Singer Vanessa Mdee will not be releasing new music anytime soon this is because the lady has decided to take some time off the industry; as she hopes she work on herself.
Speaking during her podcast dubbed Dive Deep with Vanessa Mdee the former singer opened up revealing unknown things about herself. Well, for those of us of who did not know; turns out that the singer battled with depression a while back.
She however kept it a secret while battling it alone in silence. However after relocating to Atlanta where she resides with her boyfriend, Rotimi; she now says things on her side are slowly getting back to normal. Through her podcast, the lady opened up narrating;
Vanessa Mdee with her bae, Rotimi
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but my mission is to be a light. I know that I would probably disappoint a few people and that’s Okay, I know that my fans don’t wanna hear this but guess what am never be too far away from you, trust me.
Why she quit music
The former singer went on to add that the reason she quit making music is because she needed to choose life. According Ms dee she lost herself while doing music; and instead of pretending everything was fine, she has decided to advocate for honesty. Vanessa added;
The reason why I had to leave the industry is because I needed to choose my life, the music industry is demonic. People will tell you half-truth about what really goes on, and the truth is I just wanna be an advocate for honesty and beauty and being a sincere advocate for what facing your demons can do for You.
Vanessa mdee
For those wondering whether she will be releasing new music anytime soon; the lass made it known that her purpose on earth is to make music! However, having gone through so much, Mdee needed a break to help save herself from drowning in depression.
Now my fans are probably asking themselves right now; Are you gonna never sing again? Are we gonna never see you perform? Let me reiterate, I love music, I love to create, I love to perform, I’m a vessel, this is what I was brought on earth to be, but maybe I was a vessel to be here in this moment to have gone through everything that I have gone through so that I can tell you most honestly the truth about things you will never somewhere else.
You know true love when you see it and you can tell someone appreciates it through their actions.
Nigerian-American Power star, Rotimi swept Tanzanian beauty, Vanessa Mdee off her feet the minute they locked eyes.
How do we know? Their actions since day one, their journey, their selflessness around each other, how much sacrifice one is willing to make just to see the other smile – their actions have manifested their undying love for each other.

Rotimi seems to have just been the missing spark to the Bongo Flava music sensation´s world of genuine happiness, tranquility, career advancement and above all, love.

As she turned 32, amidst a Coronavirus pandemic that has brought the world to a screeching halt, Rotimi specially celebrated his African Queen just like he would every other year with a special surprise.

Surprise
A casual, open yet so romantic setup in the garage, was his pick. Some black, alluring balloons tied to a birthday cake that screamed: Happy Birthday! On top of the cake lay a gorgeous photo of the beauty.
Around it were some golden balloons that revealed she would be turning 32.

Right next to this was some beautifully picked red and white roses. They say less is more and that is exactly what enveloped Mdee the minute she opened her eyes to the small yet seductive setup.
So this is what happened: soon after getting done with the arrangement, Rotimi called his babe who was upstairs to come help him fix something in the garage.
She quickly responded and soon after swinging the door open, she went into some shock, cried for a bit then broke into some sweet, shy laughter.

Critics
It’s like the name ‘fame’ tags along ‘trolls’ that heighten the more as you keep scaling up the ladder of fame.
Vanessa’s relationship with Rotimi had a section of fans disapprove it and term it as one that would not last.
However, for Mimi Mars, such trolls bother her less.
You just have to get used to it. This is not her first relationship, even her previous one, people still spoke the same. You can’t force people to stop speaking.

First, she admires Rotimi´s wisdom that has unearthed the sleeping giant in her. For her, Rotimi has challenged her life and she feels like her exes have been but a total waste of time.
Mdee admits that Rotimi is her personal adviser, her mentor, and if anything, her eye-opener.
Lakini ana busara sana, yaani anakuzidi busara. Rotimi ako hivyo ananishinda busara pengine ni kwa sababu ameishi katika maisha ya, ameishi Marekani. Au ameishi katika maisha ya kuona na kujifunza mengi mapema. Ni mtu ambaye ananipa ushauri ambao sijawahi pata kwa mtu yeyote duniani. Yaani unaweza kukaa naye ukajitafakari maisha yako yote ulikuwa unafanya nini.
Vanessa Mdee and her new-found love, Rotimi
When they met, they decided to put the world aside and savor moments with each other. That is when Mdee realized Rotimi was her ´ride or die´.
It took her just 2 days being around Rotimi, to make up her mind that he will be the man she will grow old beside.
We took a break na tuliahadiana kwamba hatutashika simu, tutachukuwa muda kidigo wa kupumzika, tutaweka pembeni social media and just talk and feel. And it took me two days to know that huyu ndio mwanaume nitakuwa naye maishani mwangu yote.
