Nigerian singer Young Jonn revealed that the most challenging aspect of transitioning from a producer to a performing artist was convincing himself he could succeed. In a recent interview with Isi Ijewere on her Backstage Banter trivia YouTube segment, he reflected on his journey after a performance in Canada.

When asked about the hardest part of the transition, Young Jonn admitted, “The hardest part was self-conviction, actually convincing myself that I could do it. That was the hardest part, where I was on stage asking myself if I really wanted to do this or not. It was really hard for me to convince myself that I got this.”

During the interview, Young Jonn also shared that the last time he cried was when he lost his mother and acknowledged that everyone lies to themselves at times to feel better. He expressed his dislike for people who aren’t true to themselves, stating, “When you are true to yourself, that’s when you can be true to anybody else, but if you’re not true to yourself, you’re living a lie.”

Drake has reportedly lost a jaw-dropping $124 million to gambling in just one month. The Canadian rap star posted a screenshot of his massive losses on the betting platform Stake through his Instagram story, giving fans a glimpse into the downside of his high-stakes lifestyle.

“Gotta share the other side of gambling… Losses are so fried right now,” he wrote. “I hope I can post a big win for you all soon cause I’m the only one that has never a max these guys max once a week.”

This isn’t the first time Drake has taken a hit. Back in August 2024, he bet $450,000 on Israel Adesanya to beat Dricus du Plessis in a UFC title fight — a gamble that didn’t go his way. Just a few months later in November, he dropped another $355,000 betting on Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul in a boxing match, only to lose again. Drake’s betting streak may be flashy, but it’s proving to be just as costly.

During a recent interview, the singer shares his first encounter with the P-Square, Peter and Paul Okoye. He states how he experienced the duo perform and noticed the change in the audience, and how in that moment he got inspired.
