''Having a child made me appreciate my parents more'' – Johnny Drille During an interview with Dose of Society in London on May 19, 2025, while on his Johnny’s Room Live UK Tour, Nigerian singer Johnny Drille revealed how fatherhood has transformed his life since welcoming his daughter, Amaris Esohe Ighodaro, on November 17, 2023. He expressed deeper appreciation for his parents, who shielded him and his siblings from financial hardships while providing love and normalcy, saying, “Now I have a daughter and I understand what it feels like to nurture someone. I appreciate my parents even more.” Drille stated that his family is his top priority, adding that, “The one rule I live by is family first. I would abandon anything if my family needs me,” and acknowledged how parenting has reshaped his perspective, inspired by his parents’ sacrifices in a challenging world. #softnigeria
