Toyin Adewale, the mother of popular singer Mayorkun, has opened up about the remarkable story of how her son first connected with music superstar Davido before his rise to fame.
How It All Began
Speaking during a podcast interview with colleague Biola Adebayo, Adewale revealed that Mayorkun had visited his cousin's house, where he recorded a cover version of Davido's hit song and posted it online. This simple act would soon change his life forever.
Davido Reaches Out
According to the proud mother, Davido himself sent Mayorkun a direct message shortly after the cover went viral. However, the family was initially skeptical about the authenticity of the account. 'We were unsure whether it was genuinely Davido or someone pretending to be him,' she recalled.
A Generous Gesture
Despite their doubts, Davido eventually called Mayorkun directly. He then sent the young singer a box of clothes along with a substantial amount of money, proving his sincerity and generosity.
The Breakthrough Moment
When Mayorkun finally met Davido in person, they recorded the hit song 'Eleko' that very same night. Impressed by Mayorkun's talent, Davido invited him to come and live with him, paving the way for a successful music career.
This heartwarming story highlights the power of social media and the importance of mentorship in the Nigerian music industry.
