Afrobeats star Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, better known as Mayorkun, has confessed that he initially panicked after ace singer and record label owner David Adeleke, aka Davido, snubbed him after he quit his banking job for music.
The ‘Eleko’ hitmaker made the revelation while appearing as a guest on the latest episode of the Afropolitan podcast.
According to Mayorkun, he had quit his job at a commercial bank after Davido promised to sign him to his record label following a positive rating of a clip of him singing online.
Mayorkun, however, added that he began to panic after the “Electricity” crooner ghosted him for two weeks despite his promise.

The artiste went on to say he later resorted to seeking spiritual assistance and started going to church, trusting God to intervene.
He further recalled that after leading a praise and worship session in church one day, Davido “miraculously” texted him immediately and asked him to move into his house.
Speaking during the interview, Mayorkun said, “Davido stopped replying to me for two weeks after I quit my banking job. I started going to church, and one day, immediately after singing praise and worship, he texted me on WhatsApp to pack my luggage and come to his house. It was more than a testimony.
“You may not believe me, but I hadn’t even returned to my seat after leading the praise and worship before he messaged. I was on my way to my seat. Before then, I was in a panic because I wasn’t sure whether Davido would talk to me again.”
