Mayorkun described Still The Mayor as his “most challenging” project to date
Mayorkun recently stopped by 3Music TV for an interview ahead of Still The Mayor's release, where he spoke about his upcoming project and his contract with Sony Music West Africa division. The Nigerian singer dubbed Still The Mayor his "most challenging" album to date.
“My third album is titled ‘Still The Mayor’ and it is not about me ascertaining my place in the industry, it is just a sequel. I’m trying to follow the style of my previous albums, and I needed a title that would bring up questions. The title is also very daring. This album has been the most challenging for me," he said.
He also explained why the initial release date was postponed, citing clearance issues.
"Every time we get a date, something happens. Music is not as it used to be. Now, some clearances need to be done, and my label likes to do things by the book. We are done now, though. We were just trying to avoid trouble," he continued.
Mayorkun has released two singles from Still The Mayor: Innocent and Reason 2 Japa. Innocent, featuring Fireboy DML, was released in November 2024. Meanwhile, Reason 2 Japa dropped in April 2025.
Mayorkun's rise to stardom came after he caught the attention of Nigerian-American singer and record producer Davido when he covered the latter's song, The Money, in 2016. Davido signed the young artist to his record label, DMW, that same year, and the singer released his debut studio album, The Mayor Of Lagos, in 2018.
In 2021, he parted ways with DMW and signed with Sony Music Africa, releasing his sophomore album, Back in Office, under the record label. In his interview with 3Music TV, the singer revealed Davido "facilitated the deal" with his current record label.
