Artist May D reminisces on his past music career: “I was bigger than Wizkid and Davido”

Nigerian Singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, popularly known as May D, has spoken about his fallout with his former record label, ”Square Records” owned by Peter and Paul Okoye (P-Square).

May D joined Square Records in 2011 but his time with the label was short-lived as he was dropped in August 2012, a decision that he believes derailed his music career.

The ”Ile Ijo” Singer reflected on his experience with P-Square in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast published on Monday, January 13. According to him, when singer, Davido had issues with his family, Davido came to visit him, he was unable to sleep in his room because of the poor state of things there.

“When Davido was running from his dad, he came to my room in P-Square’s house, and he was like, May D, is this where you stay? I can’t sleep here oo. If I had a room, it would have been cooler” he said

May D further claimed that during his time with the label, he didn’t own a bank account.

“It’s only when someone has money that he opens an account,” he said

According to him, there was a time when he ranked above Wizkid and Davido in the Nigerian music industry.

“Then it was Wizkid, David, and I. I was even bigger. Wetin be ‘Holla at Your Boy’ compared to ‘Soundtrack?” he stated

The 40-year-old singer noted that parting ways with Square Records was the turning point in his career.
