Mavin Records signee John Ighodaro, aka Johnny Drille, has revealed how the death of Don Jazzy’s mother inspired his hit song.
The singer said the death of the mother of his record label boss, was the inspiration behind the hit song ‘How Are You My Friend’.
The ‘Believe Me’ crooner made this known in a recent interview with Hip TV.
He said, “For ‘How Are You My Friend’, the inspiration behind it was, Don Jazzy has just lost his mum like a couple of weeks prior.
“I guess, maybe this [the song] was his own way of talking about it because a lot of people were reaching out to him that he has not heard from like years. So, it just kind of hit him that, ‘Omo, I actually have these many friends that I have not spoken with for so long.’
“I also think that we are also in pretty touch times. The economy is crazy. A lot of people having it hard. A lot of people going through things in their lives that sometimes they don’t feel comfortable sharing them. And I guess, maybe that is why people have been able to connect with the song.”
