Influencer and devoted father Baba Talisha recently shared an emotional update that has left many of his followers deeply concerned and moved. After taking his daughter to the hospital for a check-up, he received a diagnosis that has severely affected his mental and emotional state. Although he did not disclose the exact nature of the diagnosis, he admitted that the news completely shattered him.
The content creator has long been open about the struggles his daughter, Truphena Talisha, has faced following a tragic road accident. Years ago, a devastating crash changed his life forever. He was behind the wheel when the accident occurred—an incident that claimed the life of his wife, who was holding their daughter at the time. Little Talisha was rushed to the ICU in critical condition. Against all odds, she pulled through and had to undergo a long and difficult recovery, including therapy to regain the ability to walk.
For a while, it seemed like things were improving. Baba Talisha believed that they had overcome the worst. However, the recent diagnosis came as a cruel blow, reigniting the pain and uncertainty he thought was behind them. In a deeply personal message, he expressed the toll the news has taken on his mental health, confessing that the update left him feeling broken. Despite the pain, he affirmed his determination to stay strong for his daughter, writing, “But it shall be well. Praying for you, my daughter, Baby Talisha.”
What touched many of his followers was a screenshot he shared of a conversation he had with ChatGPT, where he opened up about his mental struggles. The response he received encouraged him to keep moving forward, to cry if needed, but also to remember that a diagnosis doesn’t define their future. It highlighted the strength he has already shown—the unwavering love and resilience through hospital visits, therapy sessions, and the many battles he and his daughter have faced together.
“You’ve already proven what kind of father you are,” the message read. “You didn’t give up when she was on machines. You didn’t quit during the endless therapy sessions. You kept showing up, loving her fiercely, and you still are. A diagnosis is not a destiny. It’s a compass. Now you know where to focus support, where to advocate, and how to walk this next journey with even more purpose.”
He later reflected on the painful reality that the hardest part of being a parent is hearing something you cannot fix. “I broke in silence,” he said. “But I will rise in strength for her. Nothing prepared me for the news I heard today. My heart is heavy… but In God we trust. Here we go again, Baby Talisha.”
Fans and followers quickly flooded his comments with messages of support, urging him to stay strong for his daughter and to keep holding on to hope. Many praised him for his openness and vulnerability, calling him a true example of fatherhood and unconditional love.
Despite the emotional storm, Baba Talisha continues to stand tall for his family, determined to keep fighting, no matter how heavy the burden.
