Tobe played high school and then college football at the University of North Texas. He was being considered for draft by the NFL, however, a lisfranc ligament tear left him unable to play.

TeamGINI aims to help families in need by giving them gifts that aid them in gaining financial literacy and independence. After encouragement from the motivational speaker Eric Thomas, Nwigwe began focusing on music.
