Mayorkun picks Kweku or Kwame as his preferred Ghanaian name

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, known professionally as Mayorkun has expressed his fondness for Ghanaian culture by revealing the local names he would choose for himself if given the chance.

Speaking in an interview on WatsUp TV, The "Mayor Of Lagos" was asked what Ghanaian name he would adopt, to which he cheerfully responded: "I'll take Kweku or Kwame."

The statement, delivered with a smile, reflects Mayorkun's ongoing connection with Ghana and its people.

Over the years, he has built a strong fanbase in the country and has frequently collaborated with Ghanaian artists, including King Promise and Gyakie.

His choice of "Kweku" and "Kwame" both traditional Akan names given to boys born on Wednesday and Saturday respectively also signals his growing familiarity with local customs.

Mayorkun's relationship with Ghana continues to deepen, especially as his upcoming album, set to be released on June 13, features two Ghanaian artistes among its collaborators.

Fans across the region are eagerly awaiting the project, which includes 12 tracks and promises a rich blend of sounds and influences.

The light-hearted exchange further endeared the singer to Ghanaian audiences, highlighting the cultural ties that continue to grow between Nigerian and Ghanaian musicians.
