Real reason I hid my mother’s identity for years – Mayorkun
Adewale Emmanuel, also known as Mayorkun, a Nigerian singer, has disclosed why he kept his mother’s identity disguised for four years.
Mayorkun, the son of Nollywood veteran Toyin Adewale, revealed in an interview with media personality Taymesan published on YouTube Saturday that he covered her identity to combat the bogus love her popularity garnered.
“Growing up, my brother and I didn’t like that our mom was a famous actress,” the ‘Mama’ singer explained. We desired liberty, but with her celebrity came bogus attention and all.
“I hated going somewhere and being treated differently, not because you like me but because I am Toyin Adewale’s son.
“Even in my university, people did not know she was my mother for four years. I was intentional about this.
“My mom brought food to me at school once, and a girl saw her. I quickly ran to where she was to get the items she came with just so no one else saw her.”
