In an interview on Arise TV, Mayorkun revealed that despite his contract with the label expiring nearly four years ago, he remains close to Davido and considers him family.

He said, “My contract with DMW has been done for about 3 to 4 years but I’m still with them. After this interview, the next person I will be seeing is Davido.”

Mayorkun also clarified that his upcoming project will be released under Sony Music.

He also disclosed that he’s been working with Sony Records for the past three years.

Mayorkun was signed to Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) from 2016 to 2021.

Recall that Mayorkun was discovered by Davido on Twitter in February 2016 after releasing a cover of Davido’s song “The Money”.

Davido reached out to Mayorkun, and he eventually left his banking job to pursue music full-time, releasing his debut single “Eleko” under DMW in 2016.
