“Rotimi ananizdi busara sana. Ni mtu ambaye ananipa ushauri ambao sijawahi kupewa na mtu yeyote duniani. Unaeza ukakaa naye ukatafakari maisha yako yote ulikuwa unafanya nini.
Nikama ulikuwa unachelewa, unapoteza maisha, unajidhalilisha. Tulikutana Essence Festival Julai kule Marekani, ambapo tulitambilswa na rafiki yetu and everything else was instant.
Tulikutana kwenye After-party ya Spotify and it was so strange kwa sababu sikuwahi hata kutizama ‘Power’ kwa muda japo najua kazi zake vizuri,” said Vanessa Mdee.
Adding that;
“It was so crazy coz tulitambulishwa alafu akasimama mbele yangu I was like, why is he standing here. So we started talking and we talked for a long time and exchanged numbers. And it was like fresh air. He was to go sit with his fellow actors wa ‘Power’ but akakuja pande yetu. Ni mtu ambaye kila nikizungumza naye naskia amani ya moyo, furaha, butterflies mpaka kesho, he was so real.
It was something very special from the beginning.”
Vanessa further disclosed that her relationship with Rotimi officially kicked off when they decided to go for a holiday together in Miami.

The Bongo singer claimed that it only took her two days to realize that he is the man she would like to spend the rest of her life with.
“So we took a break na tulikubaliana kuwa hatutashika simu, just the two of us, just talk and it took me only two days kujua kuwa huyu ndio mwanaume nitakuwa naye maishani.
I was like this is my husband. He has changed my life completely.
He loves God, relates well with people, very generous, and understands who he is, ana hekima sana.
He is a very happy person, he is a very straight forward and a happy person. He is very talented, (model, singer acting),” said Vanessa Mdee.
