Nigerian Afropop singer Mayorkun has said he will insist on a DNA test before acknowledging paternity of any child presented as his.
The musician, whose real name is Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, shared his position on social media on Monday, October 5, 2026, describing it as a precaution to protect his personal life and future family.
Mayorkun indicated that establishing biological paternity would be a firm requirement for him, citing concerns about the emotional consequences of paternity deception.
His comments prompted differing reactions online. Some followers supported his position, viewing testing as a reasonable way to establish certainty before assuming parental responsibility.
Others questioned the implications for a relationship, arguing that making such a demand from the outset could suggest distrust between partners.
The singer’s remarks have added to public discussion about paternity testing, trust and the responsibilities of parenthood. His announcement concerned a personal position on future fatherhood rather than a disclosed dispute involving a particular child.
