Rapper Yung Sammy On His Reality TV Debut With The 50: 'I Will Focus On My Own Journey'

Yung Sammy, the Nigerian rapper known for his popular Hindi rap tracks such as Raat Khatam, G Class, 4X4, Mr Rambo, and several others, is currently seen as a contestant on The 50. With his unique blend of music and personality, he’s quickly becoming one of the most-watched participants on the show.

Living under one roof with 49 competitors means constant comparison, yet Yung Sammy approaches it with the same philosophy he applies to his music. “Comparison is something every artist deals with, especially in the music industry. I’ve learned that everyone has a different rhythm and timing. Inside the house, I’ll focus on my own journey, just like I do with my music. Confidence comes from consistency and self-belief, not from trying to outshine

others every moment,” he says.

Decision-making under pressure is another challenge the show throws at its contestants. But Yung Sammy relies on instincts honed from years of performing. “Music has trained me to trust my instincts. When you’re on stage or in the studio, hesitation can ruin the moment. In high-pressure situations, I stay calm and go with my gut. Since this is my first reality show, I’m treating every decision as a lesson—something that will shape me both as an artist and a person.”

Beyond the competition, Yung Sammy’s vision of success extends far past winning the title. “Success for me would be people truly knowing who YUNG SAMMY is beyond the music. If the Indian audience connects with my mindset, my struggle, and my journey, and then goes back to my music feeling more connected, that’s a big win. Winning the title would be amazing, but building a deeper bond with the audience and letting my music speak louder through this experience would mean everything to me.”

For Yung Sammy, The 50 isn’t just a reality show, it is a proving ground for mental strength, self-belief and authenticity, allowing viewers to connect with the artist behind the music in a way no stage or studio could. The show streams on JioHotstar.
