How Davido Signed Me After Two Weeks Silence – Mayorkun
Nigerian singer, Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, has narrated how Afrobeats star, Davido, signed him after allegedly ignoring him for two weeks.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Mayorkun revealed that he had quit his banking job after Davido showed interest in signing him, following a video of him singing that surfaced online.
Speaking further, he said he became anxious when Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, stopped responding to his messages for two weeks.
The singer explained that the silence left him confused and uncertain about his future, which pushed him to seek spiritual help and start going to church regularly, trusting God to intervene.
He recalled that on a particular day, after leading a praise and worship session in church, he got a message from Davido.
According to him, Davido contacted him shortly after the church session and asked him to pack his bags and move into his house, a move that eventually led to his signing to Davido Music Worldwide (DMW).
“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 haven’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 panic because I wasn’t sure whether Davido would talk to me again,” he said.
