Man Crush Monday: Celebrating Mayorkun

This ManCrushMonday, we shine the spotlight on Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun. Born on March 23, 1994, in Lagos, Nigeria, Mayorkun has established himself as a powerhouse in the Nigerian music industry, with a unique blend of singing, songwriting, and performing skills.

Early Life and Breakthrough

Mayorkun’s journey to stardom is nothing short of inspiring. Initially working a bank job, Mayorkun’s musical talent was discovered by Davido after he posted a cover of Davido’s hit “The Money” on Twitter. Impressed by his talent, Davido signed him to his record label, DMW, in 2016. This was the beginning of an incredible career.

Mayorkun’s debut single, “Eleko,” was an instant hit, reaching number 9 on the Nigeria Playdata charts and amassing a million views within ten days. His debut album, “The Mayor of Lagos,” released in November 2018, further cemented his status as a leading artist, featuring popular tracks like “Posh” and “Fantasy.”

Following his departure from DMW in 2021, Mayorkun continued to make waves with his second studio album, “Back In Office,” released under Sony Music West Africa. The album includes hits like “Let Me Know” and “Holy Father” featuring Victony.
