Young John Says Davido’s Riches Keep Him on His Toes
Nigerian music star Young John has admitted that seeing how rich Davido is often makes him feel broke.
He made this known during a short chat at the 2025 Paris Fashion Week in France. When asked if anyone had ever made him feel poor, Young John smiled and responded quickly.
“Too many times, bro,” he said. “Davido. Whenever I see his money, I’m like, I need to work hard and drop more songs.”
The ‘Go Hard Or Go Home’ hitmaker didn’t seem upset about it. Instead, he made it clear that Davido’s huge success pushes him to do more.
Davido’s Success Both Intimidates and Inspires Him
Young John said he sees Davido’s success as both a reminder and a push. While it can feel a little overwhelming, it also gives him serious drive.
The Afrobeat producer-turned-singer seemed to admire how far OBO has gone in the industry. According to him, it lights a fire under him to stay focused and keep dropping music.
This moment of honesty from Young John touched fans, who praised him for being real and not afraid to share his feelings.
From Producer to Accidental Star
In 2024, Young John revealed something surprising about his journey in music. He said he didn’t plan to become a singer. In his words, it was an accident.
Before taking the mic, Young John worked behind the scenes as a music producer. He first rose to fame with Olamide’s YBNL Nation. There, he made big hits for artists like Lil Kesh, Olamide, and others on the label.
Now, he’s not just a beatmaker. He’s a full-blown artist making waves with his own voice and sound.
And with someone like Davido ahead of him, Young John is more motivated than ever to keep pushing.
