Nigerian singer John Ighodaro, popularly known as Johnny Drille, has reflected on the day he felt like a “loser”. 

The newlywed singer said it was the night he got evicted from Project Fame in 2013 after failing to make it to the top 10 cut. 

He 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 the spotlight in 2015 after releasing his hit song ‘Wait For Me’ under Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records.
