The singer, known for his infectious hits and vibrant energy, shared insights into how Ghana continues to inspire his music.

In an interview on WatsUp TV , He recounted how the popular Twi phrases in his hit song "Mama" came from a creative idea he developed with his manager, later refined in collaboration with Ghanaian singer KiDi. Lines such as "I like dis your body oh... my baby sika mi odo oh... na you wey go chop all my money oh" showcase a blend of Nigerian and Ghanaian musical elements — a move that clearly resonated with fans across borders.

Mayorkun also revealed his fondness for Ghanaian culture, expressing interest in adopting a local name.

When asked which Ghanaian name he would prefer, he cheerfully responded, "Kweku or Kwame."

Fans can expect plenty of cross-cultural collaborations on his upcoming album, which drops June 13, 2025. The twelve (12) track project will feature five to six guest artists, including two Ghanaian stars.

Mayorkun also hinted at an extensive backlog of unreleased collaborations, stating he has recorded over ten (10) songs with King Promise and four (4) tracks with Gyakie.

In addition, the singer touched on his recent track "Japa", which continues to gain traction for its relatable themes and catchy production.

With a growing list of international features and a genuine love for Ghana's music and people, Mayorkun's new album is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases this year.
