Who Is Tomi Thomas? 7 Things to Know About Efya's Husband

Until this month, many Ghanaians knew Tomi Thomas only as the man Efya kept out of the spotlight. Then came a kente traditional wedding in Accra on 6 November 2026 and a white wedding the next day, and suddenly everyone wanted to know who he is. Here are seven things to know about Efya’s husband.

1. He is a Nigerian singer and songwriter

Tomi Thomas is a Nigerian musician, widely described as a singer and songwriter with a smooth, melodic style. Profiles generally place his birth in Lagos in 1992, though exact birth dates vary between sources. One profile says parts of his childhood were spent in Kano and in Atlanta in the United States.

2. He started in the group L.O.S.

He first came to attention as the singer in Loud On Sound, better known as L.O.S., a group of three rappers and a singer active in the early 2010s. His hooks were a signature of the group’s sound, on songs including “On Fire”.

3. He went solo in 2014

Tomi Thomas launched his solo career with the EP Patience in 2014. He later released more music, including the 2021 EP Hopeless Romantic, a title that now reads like a prophecy.

4. He has worked with Buju Banton and Wale

His collaborations stretch beyond Nigeria. Reports of his career note work with Jamaican reggae star Buju Banton and American rapper Wale.

5. He had a Ghana connection long before the wedding

Tomi Thomas appeared on Stonebwoy’s “Hotter Fire”, a collaboration with one of Ghana’s biggest stars. He and Efya also share music: in November 2026, Efya’s Instagram caption before the wedding appeared to reference “Underneath My Skin”, a song by Tomi Thomas featuring Efya, YEN.com.gh reported.

6. The couple kept their relationship private

In February 2026, reports claimed the pair had married secretly on Valentine’s Day. Efya’s management said the 14 February event was a knocking ceremony and that the customary marriage process was not complete. In August, the couple made what YEN described as their first public appearance together, at King Promise’s birthday celebration.

At the traditional ceremony on 6 November, Tomi Thomas wore Ghanaian kente with gold accessories and arrived with traditional musicians.
