I panicked after Davido stopped talking to me

Nigerian singer, Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, has shared how Davido “miraculously” messaged and signed him after snubbing him for two weeks. 

Speaking in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Mayorkun explained that he had quit his banking job after Davido promised to sign him after seeing a clip of him singing online, but the DMW ghosted him for two weeks, which left him in panic. 

Mayorkun said he resorted to seeking spiritual assistance and started going to church, trusting God to intervene.

He recalled that after leading a praise and worship session in the church one day, Davido texted him immediately and asked him to move into his house. 

“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 stated.
