He wrote: “Grow a thick skin if you desire fame. You will definitely need it. You can go to bed a happy fellow and wake up with news of you in some mess. And because you are famous, the odds are already against you.
“So people are always looking for someone to drown. Being in the spotlight makes you an obvious target. Grow a thick skin because being famous is a whole lot.”
In the caption, he added: “I carried a little girl at an event; she just wouldn’t go back to her mum. So I parented her all evening. The next thing I saw online: Timi and his love child are inseparable. This space is a mad house.”
