Nigerian singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, popularly known as May D, has lashed out at those fond of comparing him to his famous colleague, Wizkid.
Taking to the micro-blogging platform Twitter, now known as X, he stated that people should stop comparing him to anyone in the industry, especially Wizki,d, as he noted how he is a different breed.
“Don’t ever compare me to anyone in this industry again!! Especially Wiz!! I’m a different breed!! God’s baby”.
In a follow-up post, he recounted when he went to an event, and Wizkid was performing his song “Too Fine,” and he was in the crowd. May D made it known that he still loves Wizkid, but no one should compare him to the singer.
“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 to date but never compare”.
His statement didn’t sit well with netizens who slammed him.

Back in January, May D had revealed that he was a house husband to his foreign wife in Sweden. May D, however, made it clear that his wife wasn’t the one feeding him as he had his musical career and shows which was paying him more than his wife. He said it was his choice to stay at home and take care of their child while his wife did a 9-5 job. Unfortunately, his marriage crashed during the COVID-19 lockdown.
In other news, last year, a Nigerian waitress called out the singer with receipts for allegedly refusing to pay his outstanding balance of N11K for a meal he bought. Reacting to it, May D told those dragging him to leave him alone as he revealed that he was broke. Asking the lady to send him her account number, he promised to pay her at the end of the month when he collects his salary from his boss.
