The renowned Afropop singer, John Ighodaro, widely known as Johnny Drille, has left fans surprised with a revelation about his romantic life, stating that his wife, Rima Tahini, was not only his first love but also his first girlfriend.
During a recent podcast interview with actress Iyabo Ojo, Johnny Drille shared the enchanting details of his love story, describing it as a case of love at first sight with his wife being the first woman he ever had a romantic relationship with.
Recalling the moment they first crossed paths at one of his shows in 2018, Johnny Drille shared, “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.”
