To put an end to any lingering confusion, both individuals introduced themselves by their complete legal names. "I go by the name John Ighodaro," the musician clarified, with Osas confirming her own name as Osas Ighodaro. This interaction, while not definitively settling the cousin debate, showcased their evident chemistry.

The discussion then moved towards Drille's music career. Osas pointed out that it has been five years since Johnny released his debut album, "Before We Fall Asleep." Drille acknowledged the extended period between projects, suggesting that artistic creation cannot be rushed.
