On Instagram, she simply goes by the name Tolani. No pseudonyms or necessary need to affiliate with the influential Otedola family.

Tolani Otedola is the first daughter of the renowned business magnate, Femi Otedola. She maintains a low profile and doesn’t have the prominence of the sanguine-natured DJ Cuppy or the need to share content about her ‘everyday in her life’ just like the newly married Temi Ajibade (nee Otedola). Tolani is simply her own person, surreptitious by nature and immensely talented in the field of music.
She has found her own muse, and she is unapologetic for it.

The Early Life of Tolani
Tolani Otedola is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. She is the first daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola and half-sister to Florence Otedola (DJ Cuppy), Temi Otedola (actress), and Fewa Otedola.
Her mum, Olayinka Odukoya, was previously married to the businessman. However, the marriage would hit rock bottom; hence, Femi Otedola chose a new partner, Nana Otedola, who is the mother of Cuppy, Temi, and Fewa.
Due to the separation of her parents at a tender age, pundits claim that Tolani began to experience withdrawal before she turned 10. The singer-songwriter would decide to tend towards psychology and mental education as a way of learning about herself, her esteem, and the means to approach creativity.
She studied psychology at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland before pursuing music. Tolani is known for her soulful, alternative style and has released songs like “Tenderoni” (featuring Skales), “Ba Mi Lo” (featuring Reekado Banks), and “Bad Man”.
Unlike some of her sisters who are more active in media and fashion, Tolani tends to keep a relatively private lifestyle, focusing on her music career.
