Personal Life
Omos has a younger brother and a niece who live in Indiana. His parents and another brother live in Nigeria. He can speak three languages: English, French, and Yoruba.
In 2012, when Omos was getting medical tests, doctors found a small growth in his brain called a pituitary tumor. This tumor caused him to grow very tall and affected his body's hormones. It was also pressing on his eyes, which could have made him blind. He had surgeries in 2012 and 2013 to remove the tumor. Now, he needs to take special medicine for the rest of his life because his body doesn't make certain hormones naturally. Even with this, he was able to play basketball.
