Afrobeats singer Mayorkun has broken his silence on the allegations made by social media influencer Nicki Dabarbie, who accused him and colleague Skiibii of attempting to use her for ritual purposes.
Mayorkun denied the allegations, stating that he had never met Nicki Dabarbie and was unaware of her existence until the allegations surfaced.
In a series of posts on his X platform, Mayorkun expressed frustration with the spread of negative news online and the gullibility of people who believe and share false information without seeking clarity.
He emphasized that he never met Nicki Dabarbie, did not know of her existence until the allegations, and did not put anything in her drink as claimed.
“Just for the record, I never met that person on the said day, still never seen that person till this day, never knew about that person’s existence not until those allegations came up.. yet she claimed I put ‘something’ in her drink.
“A lot of people believed that story, and you think I’ll let this libellous claim fly? No!”
Mayorkun took a break from responding to the allegations to avoid acting emotionally but felt compelled to address the issue publicly due to the impact on his reputation and career.
He criticized people for hastily jumping on false allegations against him for clout and relevance, without considering the harm to his life and career, and potentially their own in the future.
Reiterating that he has never met Nicki Dabarbie, Mayorkun stated that he will pursue full charges despite her current remand in prison on unrelated charges.
“I wanna re-instate, I have never seen this person before even as I am typing this! I still haven’t set my eyes on this person.. Like what else can I say? How else can I prove this?
“There’s no need for me to ask for an apology where I won’t get any. I just needed to say this publicly and get it off my chest.. cos if it was a case of ‘cancellation’ as many people are quick to do, I for don go back to dey find work for bank.”
