In his post, the DMW boss publicly instructed his close associate to oversee the logistics and ensure the vehicle was safely handed over to Mayorkun without delay.
While the multi-award-winning singer did not explicitly state the exact monetary value of the vehicle, the Tesla Cybertruck stands as one of the most distinctive, highly sought-after, and expensive electric vehicles on the global market.
Designed by Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors, the vehicle features an ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless-steel exoskeleton, armor glass, and an iconic geometric silhouette that has made it a prominent status symbol among top international celebrities, tech figures, and global entertainers.
The gesture highlights the enduring friendship between both hitmakers, whose collaborative history dates back to 2016. Mayorkun was discovered by Davido on social media after posting a video cover of Davido’s hit single.
Recognized for his exceptional songwriting talent and vocal delivery, Mayorkun became one of the flagship artists under the DMW banner, releasing multiple chart-topping singles and his critically acclaimed debut album “Mayor of Lagos.”
Though Mayorkun eventually departed DMW in 2021 to pursue an independent music career, the two artists have repeatedly demonstrated mutual respect and camaraderie over the years.
Rather than experiencing the public falling-outs that frequently plague record label departures in the entertainment industry, Davido and Mayorkun have consistently celebrated each other’s personal and professional triumphs.
Davido’s penchant for extravagant gifts and philanthropic acts toward his circle, crew members, and colleagues remains a well-documented aspect of his personality.
Over the course of his career, the “Unavailable” crooner has routinely gifted diamond-encrusted chains, luxury automobiles, and cash rewards to close friends and associates, reinforcing his public reputation for elevated loyalty and mentorship.
The news of the luxury gift has since sparked widespread excitement across social media platforms, with fans and industry peers praising Davido for his unwavering loyalty to his alumni network.
Music enthusiasts have described the gesture as a refreshing demonstration of genuine support and love within the Nigerian entertainment space, setting a positive benchmark for artist-label dynamics in contemporary Afrobeats culture.
As delivery of the high-end electric vehicle is finalized, fans eagerly anticipate Mayorkun’s reaction and potential future musical collaborations between the two music powerhouses.
