Nigerian singer May D has asserted that he was once on the same level, if not ahead, of music heavyweights Wizkid and Davido during the early stages of their careers.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, May D described himself, Wizkid, and Davido as the top three Nigerian artistes of their time, adding that he was more prominent than the duo at one point.
“Then it was Wizkid, David, and I. I was even like bigger. Wetin be ‘Holla at Your Boy’ compared to ‘Soundtrack?’” he said, referencing his hit song.
The singer also reiterated his earlier claim that Wizkid, now a Grammy-winning global star, would not have reached his current level of success had he not parted ways with Square Records.
May D gained fame after signing with Square Records, the label owned by P-Square, in 2011. However, his career trajectory shifted when the label announced his departure in August 2012. The singer has attributed the fallout with P-Square to the decline in his career, which he believes hindered his potential to remain at the top of the music industry.
