Talented Nigerian singer Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, paired up with Mavin Records queen, Di’Ja to perform at Budweiser’s studio. The two artists worked together alongside popular music producer, Gospel on de beat, for the remaking of Weird MC’s 2006 hit song ‘Ijoya’.
Since the airing of the pilot episode of the Budweiser Smooth Kings Remix, fans and consumers of the premium drink have always looked forward to having their favourite artist on board for the show.
The performance was posted on Budweiser’s YouTube channel and the flow between Mayorkun and Di’Ja on the stage has wowed many fans who shared their reactions across various social media platforms. With performance so rhythmical, fans have also demanded that ‘The Mayor of Lagos’ – as the singer is fondly called – collaborate with Di’Ja who has rather been quiet over the years.
