Johnny Drille Says His Wife Was His First Girlfriend | Fab.ng

Nigerian singer, Johnny Drille, revealed that he had never been in a romantic relationship until he met his wife, Rima Tahini, during an interview on the “Gold Room with Iyabo Ojo” show.

Johnny Drille shared that he first saw Tahini in 2018 at one of his shows after being signed to Mavin Records, where she also worked. Despite initially thinking she was white due to her mixed-race heritage, they got talking at a later date, and he knew she was the one for him.

According to him,

“The first time I saw her was at one of my shows in 2018. She was sitting in the front row next to a white woman. At some point, I thought both of them were white. She is mixed race.”

He further said,

“So, when I was working on another show in Abuja, we got talking. We met in October, and by January, I knew I was going to marry her. And I told her I was going to marry her. For me, it was a deep conviction. A lot of people will not believe this, but she was my first girlfriend. I never had a girlfriend before her. I married the first woman that I said ‘I love you’ to, and I always wanted it to be that way; it doesn’t have to be that way for everyone.”

However, when asked whether he was a virgin when he met his wife, the singer chuckled and playfully sidestepped the question. Despite never having had a girlfriend, he adeptly maintained privacy about his personal life.

Notably, Johnny Drille kept his relationship concealed from the public eye throughout its duration, extending this discretion to their wedding day. Adding to the surprise, the couple clandestinely tied the knot in 2022, revealing this only in July 2023 during their first-anniversary celebration.

This revelation caught many Nigerians off guard, as the news of his relationship and the subsequent marriage had been well-guarded for an entire year. While details about their relationship were scarce, fans now have insights into when and how they first crossed paths.

Having No Outfit Made Me Miss AMVCA – Whitemoney

Whitemoney Said Having No Outfit made Me Miss AMVCA | fab.ng

Big Brother Naija “Shine Ya Eye” winner Whitemoney, also known as Hazel Oyeze Onou, recently explained why he skipped the 10th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).

The AMVCA took place on Saturday, with celebrities rocking stunning outfits on the red carpet at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. Vee, for example, wowed in an all-pink lace gown with a flowing cape and matching gloves.

In a video on his Instagram page, Whitemoney revealed that the high cost of attending the AMVCA was a major factor in his absence. He explained that creating an AMVCA-worthy outfit can cost millions of Naira, not even including stylist fees! Feeling the pressure to look his best, and since he doesn’t identify as an actor, Whitemoney opted to skip the event altogether.

On a separate note, Whitemoney also urged his fellow celebrities to pay the designers behind their extravagant AMVCA looks to avoid any awkward situations.

He said,

“I’ve been getting calls about my absence from the AMVCA. How would I go, are you not seeing what these brothers are wearing? Take a look at Neo Akpofure’s dress. Elozonam was dripping in an all-white outfit, like an angel deported from heaven to go create his own heaven on earth. Saga was like all these pink Barbie gentlemen. His dress was awesome.”

“I can’t match their styles. To make an outfit befitting for the AMVCA, you would spend not less than one million naira, and you will still have to pay for a stylist. I’m not an actor, so I’m not even bothered.”

“AMVCA na pressure. Imagine paying over a million naira for a dress you would only wear once. The ladies were just killing it. Next year we move. I can’t relate. But please, make sure you pay your designers in full to avoid them calling you out on social media.”
