Mayorkun Recalls Davido’s ‘Street OT’

According to Mayorkun, the sudden attention he received from women after becoming famous was exciting at first.

He said Davido, who signed him to Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) in 2016, pulled him aside and offered some practical advice about handling female attention that comes with fame.

Mayorkun described the advice as “street OT”, explaining that Davido warned him that some women might only be interested because of his popularity.

What Davido Told Mayorkun

Mayorkun recalled that Davido warned him that when his popularity eventually faded, women who were attracted to him because of his fame could simply move on to the next successful artiste.

The singer said he took Davido’s advice seriously and later understood what his mentor meant.

The revelation has drawn attention online, with fans discussing whether Davido’s advice helped Mayorkun maintain a relatively private personal life as his career grew.

Davido’s Influence on Mayorkun’s Career

Mayorkun’s relationship with Davido dates back to 2016, when Davido discovered him after he shared a video of himself playing the keyboard to Davido’s “The Money.”

Davido eventually signed Mayorkun to DMW, helping launch the singer’s professional music career. Mayorkun has previously described meeting Davido as a major blessing in his life and career.
