Nigerian music executive, Tunji Balogun, popularly known as Teebillz, has said he welcomed his 18-year-old daughter’s boyfriend into his home as part of his belief in open-minded parenting.

He made this known in an Instagram post on Sunday, where he explained that it is better to guide children through real-life situations than to restrict them and risk rebellion.

“I’m very proud to welcome my daughter’s boyfriend to my home at 18 rather than caging her to be rebellious,” he wrote.

Teebillz said he is intentional about teaching his daughter how to choose wisely, and proud that she is with a respectful, well-raised young man.

“I’m so proud to teach her to be with an excellent Black young man with honours, respectful, loving, from good two-parent homes.”

He described raising a daughter through private education in Los Angeles for 18 years as a big achievement, adding that he believes his late mother would be proud of him.

“To raise a child for 18 years in a private school in Los Angeles no be beans! I know my mother is proud of me.”

Teebillz, who is a father of four, stressed the importance of honesty and trust between parents and children.

“By being open-minded, we allow our children to explore, question, and discover their own truths. My daughter, my business.”

Taking to his Instagram story, he praised his daughter’s boyfriend, Kobe, for his maturity and composure after their conversation.

“What do you like about my daughter, Kobe? ‘I’ve never met a girl smarter than me……’ Thank you for raising her, sir! God bless you, Kobe, for being a better man than me after talking to him…. what’s your cashapp Kobe #ProudDad.”
