John Ighodaro a Nigeria singer and songwriter who is professionally known as Johnny Drille has divulged that his wife Rima Tahini was his first love.

During a podcast interview session with actress Iyabo Ojo recently, the ‘Believe me’ crooner explained how he first met his wife describing his love for her as “love at first sight”. 

He said, “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 [Rima] is mixed race.
“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 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.”

It will be recalled that Mavin Records CEO, Don Jazzy, revealed in July that Johnny Drille, his signed artiste, and Rima Tahini, who is also an A&R executive with Mavin Records, were married.
It was later discovered that the revelation came a year after the couple got married secretly.
