Nigerian singer Mayorkun has revealed that he spent his banking days hiding his mother’s identity, doing everything possible to stop her from visiting his workplace because he wanted to be liked for himself.
Speaking on CreativiTEA, Mayorkun said while in school and during his bank job, nobody knew his mother was a famous actress. He said the secrecy only ended because she met Davido in the first week of his signing.
He said his mother once wondered aloud if he was ashamed of her, but that was never the point. He said she understood over time.
In Mayorkun’s words: “When I was in school, when I was working, I didn’t tell anybody. I did everything possible to stop her coming to where I was, because I like people to just like me for who I am. She met Davido the first week when we were doing the whole signing stuff. My mom at some point felt like, oh are you not happy that I’m your mother? That’s not the point, it’s just I don’t want it out there. But she understood over time.”
