On Jul 7, 2023

Nigerian Multi-talented Singer John Ighodaro popularly known as Johnny Drille has narrated how not making it to top 10 of MTN project fame made him feel like a ‘loser’.

The R&B singer and Mavin signee said he featured in the talent show in 2013 to compete for the grand prize but unfortunately didn’t make it to the last lap.

Johnny Drilled disclosed this in a recent interview with reality star KimOprah on Hip TV’s programme, Trending.

He said: “A lot of people don’t know but I was on Project Fame in 2013. I did not make top 10 not to talk of winning. But for me, it was like the beginning of everything for all these.

“I know when I was evicted that night, something was born in me. For the first time in my life, I feel like a loser. I feel like I wasn’t worth anything. That night, I made a decision that I’m going to become a great person, a great musician, a great artiste. So, it was from then that I started doing music professionally.”

Johnny Drille came into limelight in 2015 after releasing his hit song ‘Wait for me’ under Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records.
