Young Jonn Postpones ‘Blue Disco’ Album Amid Rising Insecurity in Nigeria

Nigerian singer and producer, Young Jonn has announced that he is postponing the release of his highly anticipated album, Blue Disco.

The artist shared the update on X (formerly Twitter), explaining that the escalating insecurity in Nigeria has made it difficult for him to proceed with a celebratory project. His message expressed deep concern over the violence, kidnappings, and unrest affecting communities nationwide, noting that the current atmosphere does not align with the spirit of releasing such a significant body of work.

Young Jonn described the situation in the country as “unbearable,” saying he felt compelled to step back out of respect for those affected. His post also included a heartfelt prayer for healing, unity, and peace across Nigeria, reflecting a sentiment that resonated with many of his fans and fellow artists.

The postponement comes at a moment when anticipation for Blue Disco was reaching its peak. Young Jonn had recently confirmed that the album was fully completed, revealing that it consists of twenty tracks. The project generated considerable excitement after he shared the official tracklist, which includes collaborations with some of Afrobeats’ biggest stars—Wizkid, Rema, Asake, and Olamide, alongside international names such as Shenseea and Franglish.

His decision to delay the album highlights a growing trend within Nigeria’s creative community, where artists are becoming increasingly conscious of the national mood when planning major releases. For Young Jonn, the message is clear: celebration can wait, but solidarity cannot. He has not yet announced a new release date, leaving fans hopeful but understanding as they await the moment he feels is right to share the project.

For now, Blue Disco remains on hold, but the gesture behind the postponement has already added a new layer of meaning to the album’s story — a reminder that even in the world of entertainment, humanity often comes first.
