Toyin thanked everyone for their calls and texts and informed them that they are well.
The movie star denied rumours that her singer son, Mayorkun, had a home that caught fire.
“Goldmyne, why would you do this? Don’t you verify your news before posting? This is seriously unfair. Anyway, I leave whoever supplies you with this bad news to God. My family and I will never cry, nor sorrow, nor evil shall befall us IJN. Please, Goldmyne, learn to do better. And to my family and friends, I say thank you so much for the calls and messages.

Legit.ng previously reported that Mayorkun looked back in retrospect to celebrate David Adeleke, aka, Davido, over his impact in his career.
The Awuke crooner was the first person to sign Maryokun to his record label, Davido Worldwide Music, in 2016. The music star later left Davido's record label and joined Olamide's record label, YBNL.
In a post making the rounds, Mayorkun marked nine years of releasing his first record, Eleko, which was released under Davido's record label.
According to singer Mayorkun, nothing remained the same after that for him as a singer.
Also in the post, Mayorkun shared the art cover of his first song, Eleko and penned his short note to Davido. He said, "Thank you for all".
Recall that Mayorkun has never shied away from speaking about his former record label boss, Davido. He once granted an interview and spoke glowingly on how he lived with Davido for three years.
Davido has also continued to show love and support to Mayorkun despite the fact that he was no longer signed to his record label
