Mayorkun, a well-known musician from Nigeria, has given an explanation of why he felt negatively about his mother’s success as an actress.
The singer claims that he disliked his mother’s fame, which is why he kept his mother’s name, Toyin Adewale, a secret for so long.
In an interview with Taymesan over the weekend, Mayorkun made this declaration, stating that he was against receiving special treatment anywhere.
The singer claimed in a widely circulated video on the internet that he never told his classmates that his mother, the actress Toyin Adewale, was a well-known movie star.
Mayorkun claimed that he and his brother merely wanted freedom and that he detested his mother’s popularity since it came with phony attention.
In his words,
“Growing up, my brother and I didn’t like the fact that our mom was a popular actress because we wanted freedom, but with her fame came fake attention and all.
“I hated being treated differently, not because you like me but because I am Toyin Adewale’s son.
“Even in my university, people didn’t know she was my mother for four years. I was intentional about this.
“My mum brought food to me at school once, and a girl saw her. I quickly ran to her to get what she came with just so no one else saw her.”
