Nigerian singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, also known as Mr. May D, has stirred up a lot of reactions online with his latest message to fans who compare him to Wizkid, whose real name is Ayo Balogun.
May D, famous for his hit song “Ile Ijo,” took to Twitter to boast about his impact on the Nigerian music scene.
He cautioned fans and critics not to make comparisons with anyone in the music industry, particularly Wizkid.
“Don’t ever compare me to anyone in this industry again !! Especially wiz!! I’m a different breed!!! GOD’s baby,” May D wrote.
In the midst of the controversy surrounding his remarks about Wizkid, Mr. May D shared a story about when Wizkid sang his song “Too Fine” alongside Kel.
“I remember when I went to an event and Wizkid was performing my song with kel “too fine” and I was in the crowd I still love him till date but never compare,” he added.
May D gained fame when he signed a record deal with the now-defunct Psquare’s Square Records in 2011.
In August 2012, it was announced that he had parted ways with the label.
The Ile Ijo coroner believes that his issues with Psquare played a major role in shaping his career in music.
