Taking to social media to reveal how he signed the talent onto his label, Davido shared a screenshot of their first conversation.
In a Twitter post Davido wrote;
“Me and @IamMayorKun 1st messages to each other !!! I’m type emotional”
This is coming days after he hailed Mayorkun after Mayor shared a video of himself singing to Davido’s latest album, A Better Time, and praised him for blessing Nigerians with lovely and great music.
Meanwhile, Mayorkun during a 2019 interview had spoke about the experience, as he revealed that he typed a wrong number cause he was shocked. He said;
“On Twitter. I was bored at the office, a bank, one day; just while I was pressing my phone, I impulsively posted a video I had recorded, where I was playing the keyboard of one of Davido’s songs, The Money, on Twitter.
I wasn’t expecting anything. It was on a Friday and I was supposed to resume work in another bank the following Monday. Well, Davido retweeted the video. And he later sent me a direct message asking if I had other things I did besides playing keyboard. I told him I had some songs. I sent like six songs. He liked one of them.
He said if he came back from ATL (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) he will sign me on. He collected my WhatsApp number. Because I was shaking, I typed a wrong number.”
The pair teamed up for recent hit tract ‘The Best.’
