Personal Life[edit]
On Father's Day of 2020 during an Instagram takeover of Billboard's page, Toni discussed her close relationship with her father saying, "I’m so grateful that I was lucky enough to have a dad who was also my best friend. Music was our life, so it really created a special bond between the two of us, even when we weren’t on the road. Here in this studio, he taught me how to play the guitar, how to record songs.”[9]
