Nigerian music star Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, better known by his stage name Mayorkun, has sparked fresh speculation about his personal life.
In a recent interview with Arise TV, the “Cheche” crooner hinted that he may already be married.
The singer made the revelation casually but firmly. When asked about his relationship status, Mayorkun declared that he is “off the market.” He added that there is “no chance for any other girl,” suggesting a strong commitment to someone special.
Details about his partner remain private
However, he stopped short of giving out any names or details about the woman in question. The former DMW signee, who rose to fame under the wings of Afrobeats superstar Davido, kept his cards close to his chest.
“I am off the market,” he said during the interview. “There is no chance for any other girl. I am not going to mention my partner’s name or give any details about her now. My fingers are crossed on that. But eventually, everyone will know her.”
With that simple statement, Mayorkun left fans buzzing with curiosity and excitement. Social media platforms quickly lit up with reactions. Many supporters congratulated him, while others tried to guess the identity of the mystery woman.
A history of low-key relationships
The singer’s comment marks the first public hint that he may have tied the knot or is at least in a very serious relationship. But true to his low-key nature, Mayorkun is not ready to reveal everything just yet.
This is not the first time the singer’s love life has drawn public attention. In the past, he was linked to British model Cocainna. Their relationship gained public interest in 2022 and continued into early 2023.
Breakup with Cocainna was amicable
However, in October 2023, Mayorkun confirmed that the relationship had ended. He said it simply didn’t work out. Speaking about the breakup, he explained that both parties went their separate ways on good terms.
“There was nothing dramatic about it,” he said during a previous interview. “We just realised things were not working, and we had to move on. But we’re still cool. No bad blood at all.”
That mature approach to ending a relationship won him praise at the time. Now, just months later, the singer seems to have moved on and may have even taken things to the next level.
Private life, public career
While Mayorkun has built a successful career in music, he has always kept his personal life mostly private. Even at the peak of his fame, he rarely shares intimate details on social media. Instead, he prefers to let his music and performances do the talking.
Born in Osun State and raised in Lagos, Mayorkun first broke onto the scene in 2016 with his debut single “Eleko.” He caught the attention of Davido, who quickly signed him to his record label, DMW. Under that platform, Mayorkun released a string of hits, including “Mama,” “Cheche,” and “Betty Butter.”
Career highlights and continued success
Over the years, he has built a strong fan base across Nigeria and beyond. He is known for his catchy hooks, smooth vocals, and ability to blend Afrobeats with pop and street vibes. His debut album The Mayor of Lagos (2018) and sophomore effort Back In Office (2021) both received wide acclaim.
Even with his rising fame, Mayorkun has remained grounded. His reserved nature off-stage stands in contrast to his energetic stage presence. It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that he would keep details of his romantic life under wraps.
A new chapter begins
Still, the mystery surrounding his possible marriage has added a fresh layer of intrigue. Fans are eager to know more. Is he truly married? Who is the woman who stole his heart? And when will he finally reveal her identity?
For now, those questions remain unanswered. Mayorkun has promised that the public will know her in “due time,” but he offered no timeline.
Until then, fans and followers will have to wait and speculate. What’s clear, though, is that the singer has found someone special and is happy to keep that part of his life private, at least for now.
As he continues to make music and thrill audiences across the world, it seems Mayorkun is also writing a new chapter in his personal life one that may include love, commitment, and perhaps even wedding vows.
Whatever the case, the “Mayor of Lagos” remains one of Nigeria’s most beloved musical talents and now, one of its most intriguing romantics.
