Young John, a Nigerian singer and producer, recently shared an incident where he was forced to leave the camera’s view during the filming of a music video for a song he co-produced.
During a recent interview on MTV Base Africa, the artist was posed with various questions, including one about his most humiliating experience.
In response, he recounted a particular incident from his early days as a music producer at the YBNL record label.
He said “Nobody loves to say their embarrassing moments but I remember a time, some years ago on the set of ‘Awon Goons Mi’ by Olamide. The song was produced by Pheelz and I, but Unlimited LA was shooting the video.”
The vocalist remembered feeling extremely embarrassed when he was forced to leave in front of the camera, expressing that he felt as if he wanted to disappear into the ground.
“At the time I was new to the YBNL, setting so I feel like he probably didn’t know me or just didn’t recognise me. So everyone was doing one by one to the front of the camera, you know ‘shoutout si awon goons mi’, and then it was my turn. So when I got to the front, Unlimited was like ‘Get out of here, get out of here’. I wanted to die. It felt like the ground should open up and swallow me. But yeah, that’s in the past now,”he stated.
