Nigerian singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, popularly known as Mr May D, has waded into the ongoing P-Square family drama, seemingly mocking the Okoye brothers as they trade accusations online. Peter Okoye recently released an eight-part exposé detailing his grievances with his brothers, Paul Okoye and Jude Okoye, sparking a public spat that has gripped fans and industry watchers.
Mr May D's Reaction
Taking to social media, Mr May D appeared to lampoon the situation, posting: "Mr May D Part 1 Coming soon!!" followed by laughing face emojis. He further shared a GIF reading: "Mr.MayD one corner watching Nigerians call out his former boss, Jude Okoye online." In a subsequent post, he added multiple laughing emojis and wrote: "God is good."
This reaction comes years after Mr May D publicly accused the Okoye brothers of sabotaging his career. In past interviews, he claimed that the duo cost him a lucrative deal with Senegalese-American singer Akon, who had expressed interest in working with him during his time with the now-defunct P-Square group and their record label, Square Records.
Background of the Feud
Mr May D, who was a backup singer and dancer for P-Square, left the group in 2011 amid reports of unpaid royalties and creative differences. He later alleged that Jude Okoye, who managed the group, mismanaged his earnings and blocked opportunities, including the Akon deal. The singer has maintained that the brothers' actions hindered his rise in the music industry.
The current P-Square drama began when Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, published a detailed account of his conflicts with his twin brother Paul and their elder brother Jude. The exposé, released in eight parts, covers issues ranging from financial disputes to personal betrayals, and has reignited public interest in the group's turbulent history.
Impact on the Music Industry
The public spat has drawn mixed reactions from fans and fellow artists. Some have expressed support for Mr May D, seeing his comments as vindication, while others have urged the brothers to resolve their differences privately. The drama has also overshadowed the group's legacy, which includes hits like "Do Me" and "Personally."
As the situation unfolds, Mr May D's tease of his own exposé has left many wondering if he will reveal more details about his time with P-Square. For now, he seems content to watch from the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle of his former bosses facing public scrutiny.
