Nigerian singer Mayorkun has opened up about a candid warning he got from Afrobeats heavyweight Davido at the start of his rise to fame, and the internet has plenty of thoughts about it.
In a clip from the In My Opinion show that circulated on X on October 5, 2026, Mayorkun recalled how Davido pulled him aside shortly after he blew up in the music industry.

At the time, the singer admitted he was caught up in the excitement of suddenly attracting a lot of female attention.
Davido, however, was quick to ground him. Mayorkun described the moment as receiving "street OT", essentially, no-nonsense, practical wisdom.
In his words:
"Davido gave me a street OT. When I newly blew, I was happy bagging all the baddies. He called me aside and said when I stop popping, those same girls will be around the next new artiste. I took his advice and later saw exactly what he meant."
Mayorkun built his career under Davido's DMW record imprint, giving him direct access to one of Nigeria's most experienced artists navigating the pressures of sudden celebrity.
The interview clip also touched on the fact that Mayorkun has largely avoided the kind of public relationship drama that tends to follow artists in his position, something the show's host acknowledged during their conversation.
Mayorkun credited Davido's early counsel for keeping him grounded in that regard.
The exchange sheds light on a mentor-protégé relationship that clearly went beyond music, with Davido passing on lessons about the social pitfalls that accompany fame in the Nigerian industry.
