‘I was once bigger than Wizkid, Davido’ – May D

• May D claims that he used to be on the same level as his colleagues Wizkid and Davido.
• According to May D, he, Wizkid, and Davido were the three biggest artistes in Nigeria years ago.

Nigerian singer May D opens up on his music career and his place within the industry.

In a recent episode of The ‘Honest Bunch podcast’, May D reflected on his past success and how he perceives his standing among his colleagues.

May D stated that he, Wizkid, and Davido were once considered the top three artistes in Nigeria.

He further claimed that he was, at one point, more prominent than the duo. May D drew comparisons between his song “Soundtrack” and Wizkid’s “Holla at Your Boy” to illustrate his point.

He said:

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

May D also opened up on why he fell out with P-square .

The singer joined Square Records in 2011 but left the label on August 21, 2012, over internal disputes.

In a snippet of an unreleased episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, the 40-year-old artiste implied that their short-lived relationship was because the Psquare twin brothers cost him a deal with Akon.

The singer said his troubles with Psquare began when he was left out of the music video shoot for the remix of ‘Chop My Money’ which featured the American-Senegalese artiste Akon.

May D revealed that Akon had refused to shoot the video without him, adding that he eventually had to travel to America to participate in the shoot.

He said Akon had offered him several deals and promised to fly him back to America. He said, however, that when he returned to Nigeria, he made the mistake of sharing the details of his conversation with Akon with the Psquare brothers.

May D said Psquare had initially been hesitant to sign him to their label and instead offered to help him as they had done with artistes like J Martins and Bracket. However, he said after he informed them of Akon’s offers, their relationship began to deteriorate
