Speaking to the Audit Show by Robert Alai, Padi said he is very much inspired and motivated by his son to wake up every day and create content.
He added that his son, who is now 7 years old drives him to be his best self hence links his longevity in the entertainment industry to that strive.
“My first source of motivation is my son. He drives me..and gives me the reason to leave the house and look for something to put on the table. Every morning he has a reason. If it is not school fees it is food or a good place to sleep,” Padi narrated.

Narrating his life experiences since his breakthrough in the industry, the king of Parody stated that every experience he has had has shaped him in one way or the other and thus he is grateful.

This experience, he used to encourage other comedians in the industry who are just starting up not to give up. He urged them to start from anywhere and be consistent as it will one day pay.
“I tell the youths to start with whatever they have. If you have a phone, use that,” he said.
