Nigerian singer May D has asserted that he once held a status in the music industry surpassing that of his contemporaries, Wizkid and Davido. In a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, May D stated, “Then it was Wizkid, David, and I. I was even like bigger. Wetin be ‘Holla at Your Boy’ compared to ‘Soundtrack?’”
May D, who gained prominence after joining Square Records in 2011, believes that his departure from the label in 2012 significantly impacted his career trajectory. He has previously suggested that his Grammy-winning counterpart, Wizkid, might not have reached his current level of success had May D not experienced a split from Square Records.
These statements have sparked discussions among fans and industry observers about the dynamics of the Nigerian music scene during that era and the factors influencing the careers of its leading artists.
