The Nigerian Afropop singer May D has spoken out about his well-known feud with Square Records and Psquare.
He eventually had to travel to America to take part in the shoot, May D disclosed, adding that Akon had refused to shoot the video without him.
He claimed that Akon had promised to fly him back to America and made him a number of offers. However, he admitted that he erred by telling the Psquare brothers about his conversation with Akon when he got back to Nigeria.
According to May D, Psquare was first hesitant to sign him to their label and instead promised to assist him, just as they had done with artists such as Bracket and J Martins. But he said that their friendship soured once he told them about Akon’s proposals.
“They weren’t interested in signing me at first. “Let us help you the way we helped J Martins and Bracket,” they said. They had already gone to shoot the “Chop My Money” video when I was in Nigeria. He claimed, “Akon wanted me to be in the video, but he didn’t show up until I arrived in America.”
“I wanted to know On “Chop My Money,” Akon leaped in, and they were
like, “Yes, he did.” Akon stated that he would not shoot the video if I was not in America, thus I must be there for it.
Akon contacted me to his office when I arrived in America and said, “Guy, I have a lot of deals for you. Call me when you return to Nigeria.” I’ll arrange for a flight for you to return to America; here’s my phone.
“I told him that I didn’t have any deals with these folks. “I won’t say anything; we’ll talk when you get to America,” he said. Being a decent and honest guy, I told Psquare when I arrived in Nigeria because they were the ones who carried to me there. If I had known, I would not have told them.”
