Popular Afro-pop singer, Mayorkun has revealed why he didn’t feature Davido in his new album.
Mayorkun got signed into Davido Music Worldwide, DMW label in 2016 and has since released hit songs.

When asked why Davido was not featured in his new album ‘Back in Office’, Mayorkun said, “Most people don’t know how creating an album works; sometimes, it’s a groups of songs you’ve had way back and just compile together.
“The songs that we have together I don’t feel like it’s for this album but for a later time.
“I and Davido have songs together and it is not a situation that I took out his song from my album.”
The singer said this while speaking with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu at his listening party for his new album “Mayor in Office”, which had Davido in attendance.

Davido followed him on Twitter and Instagram, after which Davido asked him if he can do more than play the keyboard. He got a call from Davido the same day he wrote his resignation letter and sent Davido some of the songs he already recorded. Davido decided to sign him to Davido Music Worldwide.

The video of the song gathered a million views in the first 10 days.To his name, Mayorkun has several singles including Yawa, Sade, Che Che, and Mama. In October 2018, he released singles “Posh” and “Fantasy” featuring Olu Maintain.
