"At this present moment, my kids are growing up, I'm getting to see them consistently. "It's like you have a garden, there are different types of seeds – you have a career, you have your money, you have your family, you have your businesses. "And sometimes, you've just got to water a particular seed a little bit more, and I'm still watering the seed of family, while not adding any more seeds [laughs]." The Insta-famous Tobi keeps his followers in the loop with updates on his latest projects, including his role in the stage play Dear Father. He dropped a cryptic hint about the play's emotional depth: "Some wounds never heal, and some truths are too heavy to carry."

"Will they find their way back or remain lost forever? Come experience the drama LIVE on stage in London from June 12-14, 2025." Moreover, he has melted hearts with delightful snapshots and clips featuring his children, the adorable bunch he parents alongside his wife Prisca.
