“Aside from having my label, right now I’m also with Sony Africa. Shout out to Davido for that as well, he facilitated the deal,” he said.
However, the singer did not go into detail about the exact part the Assurance hitmaker played in the process.
Mayorkun further announced that his third studio album, Still The Mayor, is scheduled for release on June 13. According to him, the title serves as a sequel and was chosen to spark curiosity.
“My third album is titled ‘Still The Mayor’ and it is not about me ascertaining my place in the industry, it is just a sequel,” he explained.
“I’m trying to follow the style of my previous albums, and I needed a title that would bring up questions.
“The title is also very daring. This album has been the most challenging for me. Every time we get a date, something happens.
“Music is not as it used to be. Now, some clearances need to be done, and my label likes to do things by the book.
“We are done now, though. We were just trying to avoid trouble.”
