Mayorkun’s mother recounts how Davido changed her son’s life

Nollywood actress Toyin Adewale has opened up on her son’s early career with Nigerian afrobeats star Davido. While speaking during an interview with Biola Bayo, Toyin revealed that she wept the first time she saw her son working with Davido.

She disclosed that she was present when Davido called Mayorkun, noting that she initially had doubts about it but her son was overwhelmed with excitement.

“The first time I came back from America, I came back after nine years. When I got back, and I saw them, I stepped to one side and cried. I said thank you, God cause they really make me proud. I was there when Davido called him; he actually wanted to go crazy. He said Davido told him to come the next day to record a song. That was the night they recorded Eleko”, she said.

She explained that Mayorkun used to write poems before his breakthrough in the music industry, expressing gratitude for her son’s success.

“Mayowa has always been someone who writes poems and loves to sing. I got there, and the boy was so pleasant. All their crews were so pleasant and respectful. They were calling me ‘Mummy’. I thank God for him; they will all prosper. They won’t fall by God’s grace,” she added.
