Mayorkun: My mom has no influence on my music career
Up till now, not many know that Eleko crooner, Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, is the son of veteran Nollywood actress, Toyin Adewale.

Since his debut single, Eleko, shot him to limelight after signing on to Davido’s record label, DMW, Mayorkun has battled to isolate himself from his mom’s influence on his music career because he needed to prove to the public that hard work is what has been responsible for his success so far.
According to Mayorkun, it irks his ego whenever news goes to town that his mom’s influence is what has helped his music career. Mayorkun In an exclusive chat with Showtime, he explained that contrary to what the public thinks, his mom hardly knows any hip-hop artiste.
He boasted that she rides on the wings of his success in the music industry and not the other way round. “First, no disrespect, but my mom has no impact on my entertainment influence.
My mom is in fact the person who wants me to go into banking other than music so she never spoke to anybody, she never had any influence. To be happen. By the way, my mom is not even in Nigeria, so I do my things myself.”
