Popular Nigerian music star, Mayorkun, has finally set the record straight regarding his relationship with his former label boss, Davido, amidst past speculations of a fallout between the two.
In a recent interview with 3Music TV, the singer, who rose to fame under Davido’s DMW (Davido Music Worldwide) label in 2016, revealed that the Afrobeats superstar was instrumental in helping him land his current deal with Sony Music Africa.
Mayorkun, whose real name is Adewale Emmanuel, parted ways with DMW in 2021 after five successful years and a string of hit songs. His exit triggered widespread rumours that all was not well between the former label mates. However, his recent comments have now put those rumours to rest.
“Aside from having my label, right now I am also with Sony Africa. Shout out to Davido for that as well, he facilitated the deal,” Mayorkun revealed, praising Davido for the behind-the-scenes support that paved the way for his next chapter in the industry.
The statement not only highlights Davido’s continued influence in Mayorkun’s career but also dispels claims of animosity between the two.
Since leaving DMW, Mayorkun has continued to grow his brand independently, and his association with a global music giant like Sony Music Africa marks a new milestone in his already impressive career.
With this revelation, fans of both artists are celebrating the maturity and mutual respect between them, proof that brotherhood and business can indeed coexist in the fast-paced world of music.
