Afrobeats star Mayorkun, whose real name is Emmanuel Adewale, has shared that he is considering relocating abroad due to the ongoing difficulties in Nigeria.
The singer highlighted the challenges in the country as a key factor influencing his decision, signaling his contemplation of a potential move outside Nigeria.
The “Mayor of Lagos” hitmaker shared his plans with his fans on Monday via a post on his X handle, where he wrote, “I dey reason to japa [relocate].”
Mayorkun’s contemplation of relocating abroad adds to the growing trend of Nigerian celebrities moving overseas. Prominent figures such as Tacha, Eldee, Dr. Sid, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Rita Dominic, Uche Jombo, and Emeka Ike have also made similar moves in recent years.
Last year, Banky W revealed his relocation to the U.S. with his family for educational purposes, reflecting the difficult circumstances many Nigerians are enduring.
