Why I Panicked After Davido Stopped Talking To Me – Mayorkun

Nigerian singer Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, has recounted how Afrobeats star Davido eventually signed him after allegedly going silent for two weeks following an expression of interest in his music.

Mayorkun shared the experience during a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, explaining that he had resigned from his banking job after Davido showed interest in signing him. The singer said Davido had discovered him through a video of him singing online.

However, Mayorkun said he became worried when Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, stopped communicating with him for two weeks.

According to the singer, the silence left him uncertain about his future and whether Davido would follow through on his promise. He said he turned to prayer and began attending church, hoping for a positive outcome.

Mayorkun recalled that he received a WhatsApp message from Davido shortly after leading a praise and worship session at church one day.

The message reportedly asked him to pack his belongings and move into Davido’s house, paving the way for his eventual 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,” Mayorkun stated.
