Nigerian singer Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, has credited Afrobeats superstar and his former label boss Davido for facilitating his deal with Sony Music Africa.
Without particularly offering details of the role Davido played in securing the deal, the ‘Certified Loner’ singer was quite generous with his praise for his former boss.
Speaking in an interview on 3Music TV, Mayorkun said “Aside from having my label, right now I’m also with Sony Africa. Shout out to Davido for that as well, he facilitated the deal.”
Mayorkun also revealed, during the interview, that his third studio album ‘Still The Mayor’ will be released on June 13.
While telling the story of his upcoming album, Mayorkun described the project as his “most challenging” yet, citing clearance issues and label protocols as reasons it had not dropped earlier.
“We are done now, though. We were just trying to avoid trouble.”
Mayorkun was signed to Davido’s record label DMW from 2016 to 2021. After parting ways with the label in 2021, he released his second album ‘Back In Office’ in October under the Sony Music West Africa division.
