“Don’t Forget Me in Best Musician Talks” – Young Jonn Speaks Out
Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn has expressed frustration over being left out of discussions about the country’s top musicians.
Despite his impressive musical achievements, Young Jonn believes his background in music production causes people to overlook his contributions as a singer.
The Dada hitmaker shared his thoughts on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, where he stated, “I see how you all leave me out of conversations prolly ’cause I started out as a producer.
Continue! Time will tell!” His message reveals his disappointment but also his confidence that his talent will eventually get the recognition it deserves.
Young Jonn’s journey in the music industry began as a producer for YBNL Nation, the record label founded by Nigerian rap icon Olamide.
During his time at YBNL, he played a significant role in shaping the sound of Nigerian street pop by producing major hits for artists like Olamide and Lil Kesh.
Some of his notable production credits include Story for the Gods, Shoki, and Gbese.
These songs became anthems, solidifying his reputation as a hit-making producer.
However, Young Jonn wasn’t content to stay behind the scenes.
After leaving YBNL, he signed with Chocolate City and successfully transitioned to singing.
Since then, he has built a catalog of hit songs that have dominated the airwaves, including Dada, Xtra Cool, Big Big Things, Bahamas, and Stronger.
His versatility, catchy melodies, and relatable lyrics have earned him a strong fanbase.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
