According to him, the decision had nothing to do with bad blood. Instead, it came down to growth, honesty, and standing by his personal taste in music.

Why Mayorkun Chose Growth Over Comfort

First of all, Mayorkun explained that artists eventually reach a point where they crave independence. He appreciated the platform DMW gave him, and he has said that repeatedly. However, he also wanted to test himself outside the label structure. As a result, he stepped out on his own terms.

Interestingly, he revealed another layer to the story. During an interview conversation, he openly picked “Made in Lagos”  by Burna Boy as his album of the year over a project from Davido. Although some fans raised their eyebrows, Mayorkun stood firm. He chose what genuinely resonated with him.
