In a series of posts on X, popular Afrobeats singer, Mayorkun, has finally addressed the allegations made against him by social media influencer, Nicki Dabarbie.
The influencer had previously accused him and singer Skiibii of attempting to use her for ritual purposes.
Mayorkun, born Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, vehemently denied these allegations. He stated that he has never met Nicki Dabarbie and was unaware of her existence until the allegations surfaced.
He expressed his frustration with the spread of negative news online and the impact it has had on his reputation and career.
In his posts, he wrote, “Just for the record, I never met that person on the said day, still never seen that person till this day, never knew about that person’s existence not until those allegations came up… yet she claimed I put ‘something’ in her drink.”
The singer further expressed his disappointment with people hastily jumping on false allegations against him for clout and relevance, without considering the harm to his life and career, and potentially their own in the future.
He also stated that he took a break from responding to the allegations to avoid acting emotionally. He later felt compelled to address the issue publicly due to the impact on his reputation and career.
Concluding his posts, he said, “There’s no need for me to ask for an apology where I won’t get any. I just needed to say this publicly and get it off my chest… cos if it was a case of ‘cancellation’ as many people are quick to do, I for don go back to dey find work for bank.”
He reiterated that he has never met Nicki Dabarbie and will pursue full charges. The singer had earlier threatened to Sue Nicki Dabarbie with a 1 billion Naira lawsuit.
