Deji released his own clothing line, Tank, in late 2014 – the website is currently under maintenance.
The apparel company is based out of San Francisco, California. According to the main website page, its “mission [is] to spread love and kindness to as many people, around the world as possible.”
The site continues: “The best part is that we’re using clothing to do it while giving back along the way. Apparel is literally everywhere, all the time, and we believe love and kindness should be too.
“Nobody deserves to feel alone in this world … If you believe in love and kindness as much as we believe in you, then together we will change the world!”

“Fifa is my baby,” he continued. “I have to pinch myself sometimes… I am living a lifestyle most guys my age would love to lead, playing computer games and earning good money.”
