Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, the Nigerian singer, popularly known as Mayorkun, has spoken on his relationship with former record label boss, Davido, since exiting Davido Music Worldwide, DMW.
Speaking in the latest episode of the Tea With Tay podcast hosted by actor, Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, aka Taymesan, Mayorkun said contrary to popular opinion, he and Davido have “one of the best relationships.”
The ‘Mayor Of Lagos’ crooner said fans think they are not cool because he doesn’t flaunt his relationship with Davido on social media.
He said, “Contrary to what other people think, I have one of the best relationships with Davido. I feel like he knows me and he understands the kind of person I am. If I dey vex for am now, he knows… Like do you understand? I’m not that difficult of a human being.
“It’s just that I’m not posting Davido everyday, saying his my best friend that’s why some people think we are not cool. The relationship is not for you [fans]. You always forget that.”
Recall that Mayorkun came into the spotlight in 2016 after he released a cover of Davido’s ‘The Money’ single which featured Olamide and was discovered by the singer on X (formerly Twitter).
Davido signed him to his record label, DMW, where he released his debut single, ‘Eleko’ and became an instant star.
Two years later, he won the highly coveted Next Rated category at The Headies which solidified his stardom.
In 2021, Mayorkun parted ways with Davido Music Worldwide, DMW.
