Nigerian R&B singer. Johnny Drille, has revealed the inspiration for his popular song released late last year, “How Are You My Friend”.
In a very recent interview on HipTV, the artist spoke out on how the death of Don Jazzu, CEO of Mavin Records, inspired the song.
According to Johnny Drille, the song was Don Jazzy’s idea and the composition was done by the both of them.
He stated “I guess the song was his own way of talking about it because a lot of people were reaching out to him who he hadn’t heard from in years.
So, it just kind of hit him that, ‘Omo, I actually have these many pals that I have not communicated with for so long.’
I believe we are also living in perilous times. The economy is insane. Many folks are struggling. Many people are going through problems in their lives that they may not always feel comfortable disclosing. And I suppose that’s why people were able to connect with the song.”
