Sula of Lagos Ties the Knot with Omotayo as Naira Marley, Others Attend

Lagos socialite and businessman Sula of Lagos, popularly known as Sulaaa and reportedly the founder of Sula Express, has officially married his longtime partner, Omotayo Ayomide, in a high-profile wedding ceremony in Lagos that has trended across Nigerian social media since June 26, 2026.

The event, held under the hashtag tysol2026, quickly became one of the most discussed celebrity unions of the year, drawing a wide circle of entertainers, online personalities, and society figures to the Lagos ceremony.

According to reports from the event, Sula‘s groomsmen party and guest list included well-known names from Nigerian entertainment, including YhemoLee, Skiibii, Rahman Jago, Naira Marley, and Bella Shmurda. Other figures reported to be present include Oxlade, Peruzzi, Mayorkun, Tunji Adeleke, FOLA, Ashidapo, Shoday, Sam Larry, Asherkine, Simisola Dapson, also known as Simi Sanya, and Cute Abiola, along with Tunde Perry and Thayour B, Yhemolee’s wife, who was also named among attendees.

The wider guest list reportedly also included Tobi Bakre, Pino Vibes, Dele Omowoli, Perliks, Taaooma, Zoro, Meeinahs, Barry Jhay, Baddy Oosha, Danny Walter, Lala, Kamo State, Kiitan Bukola, LAX, Cubana White Lion, Kogbagidi, and Asake‘s mother.

Naira Marley reportedly performed at the celebration, with widely shared clips from the event showing him on stage. Shoday was also reported to have performed live for the couple.

Iyalaje of Oodua, Dr. Toyin Kolade, was named among those present, adding a layer of traditional Yoruba prestige to the occasion alongside its entertainment industry turnout.

One of the most talked-about details from the day was Sula’s choice of Papaya Ex, a well-known Lagos-based influencer and his longtime friend, as his sole female groomsman, a departure from the conventional all-male lineup of groomsmen at Nigerian weddings. The choice generated heavy online commentary, with many describing it as in keeping with Sula’s reputation as a flamboyant and trend-setting figure on the Lagos social scene.

The wedding blended traditional Yoruba customs with a modern, lavish reception. Accounts of the day describe rites such as the breaking of the kola nut as part of the traditional ceremony, followed by a reception featuring live performances that carried into the night.

Omotayo‘s gown and entrance were widely shared and discussed online, with fans and commentators praising the bride’s look and the couple’s exchange of personally written vows.

The event generated heavy engagement across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, with users sharing clips of arrivals, performances, and reactions throughout the day and in the days that followed. Sula maintains an active online following across these platforms tied to his Sula Express brand.

Neither Sula nor Omotayo had issued an extended public statement beyond the celebration itself at the time of writing. As is common with viral Nigerian wedding coverage, some details about the full guest list have circulated primarily on social media and in a limited number of online reports, and not all have been corroborated by multiple independent outlets.
