Nigerian artist Young John has openly shared that fellow musician Davido often leaves him feeling financially intimidated.
The “Go Hard Or Go Home” hitmaker made the remark during a sideline interview at Paris Fashion Week in France, when asked if he’s ever encountered someone who made him feel broke.
Interviewer: “Ever met someone that made you feel broke?”
Young John: “Too many times, bro. Davido. Whenever I see his money, I’m like, I need to work hard and drop more songs.”
Despite the intimidation, Young John noted that Davido’s wealth and success serve as motivation for him to push harder in his music career.
Back in 2024, the singer revealed that becoming an artist wasn’t part of his original plan—his journey into singing happened by chance.
Young John began his career in the music industry as a producer under Olamide’s YBNL Nation, where he was behind several hit tracks for artists like Lil Kesh, Olamide, and others on the label.
