Exposing Mr May D’s many lies (Part 1) By Bayo Adetu
In my over 20 years experience as a celebrity Journalist and Publicist, I have never done what I’m about to do. Over the years, I have watched and read people sell lies to members of the public, either as a publicity stunt or to get cheap public sympathy. Whichever way it is, I try to mind my business, even though sometimes I’m being tempted not to. But I can’t overlook the mischievous, malicious and terrible lies Mr May D dished out on his interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast.
They’re all LIES from the pit of hell, and I pray that God forgives him and shows him mercy. After he betrayed the trust of his benefactors and wasted the millions of naira they invested on him, he still has the guts to paint them black in public? May D, May God forgive you.
Being P-Square’s Publicist from 2005 till they broke up, I was much involved in the group’s activities. We were actually like families. I promoted all May D’s songs under Square Records, the same way I handle P-Square’s promotions too, so I can tell you all the truth about May D’s relationship with the Okoye brothers. Nothing but the truth.
To start with, May D was Alaye’s driver. He drives him around Lagos whenever he visits from the UK. Alaye is the UK-based rapper who featured in Temptation (remix). It was when May D had accommodation problems that Alaye introduced him to P-Square, and asked if they could assist him. They did. He was given money for his rent but came back saying the landlord refused to retain him due to the type of visitors he attracts. P-square then asked him to feel free to stay in their house till he gets another place. This was in P-Square’s rented house in Omole before building Square Ville. He spends most of the time in the studio with J Martins, so never lived with P-Square per say. He occasionally comes to squat in their house when ever he feels like and most times stays for long period each time he had a fight with his first baby mama.
It was about late 2010 when Rudeboy featured his vocal in “Shes Hot” song featuring Naeto C that they were impressed with his talent, so they considered signing him. Meanwhile, it was their childhood friend, Melvin who was in line to be signed. Melvin, Michael, Peter and Paul were the young boys from St. Murumba College in Jos who made up the dancing group, MMPP. Melvin was also staying in Square Ville.
To cut the long story short, one day Mr P called me and said there would be a slight change in our initial plans. He said May D will be joining Melvin in our project, but we will push May D first, make him a star then focus on Melvin. I nodded in agreement because May D was a likeable guy. Personally, I liked him. And he knows. Boom, I invited some selected Entertainment Journalists to Square Ville (all of them are still alive to testify). They interviewed both May D and Melvin as new Square Records signees. Subsequently, I did an official press statement confirming that May D was now a Square Records artist. I also took him on a tour of some radio stations and media houses. This was in early 2011.
On 13 May, 2011, we released May D’s first two singles, Soundtrack and Cool Temper from the stable of Square Records. This was closely followed by the release of his monster hit, Ile Ijo. P-Square’s Chop My Money, which featured May D, was released later in the year on 19 October, 2011. So, how come May D is claiming that P-Square never wanted to sign him? When several millions of naira had already been spent on his project, without making a dime in return? He also hits the crossbar by making reference to Bracket and J Martins.
The Okoyes played more of unofficial roles for Bracket and J Martins, and rendered other assistance when necessary, but as for May D, it was official. The only mistake the Okoye brothers made with May D was not giving him a contract before investing heavily on his project. They assumed that he was already a brother, having lived, ate and dined with them under the same roof for years. So putting a pen on paper shouldn’t be an issue, they assume. But they were wrong!
After Ile Ijo became a hit, followed by Chop My Money, May D’s attitude changed to everybody. He became so arrogant and pompous. I think the fame came too sudden, and unexpected, so he had issues managing the little success. Besides, excess of everything is bad, so he needs to be careful of making decisions under the influence of smoke. I will shed more light on this later.
Mr May D claimed that P-Square traveled to America to shoot Chop My Money video without him. That’s not true. When the Invasion album was released, Akon’s brother Bu was in contact with P-Square to get Rick Ross feature on the Beautiful Onyinye song.
However, when P-Square arrived in America, Akon surprised P-Square by showing interest in remixing Chop My Money with them which they excitedly agreed to. The song was done quickly and Akon asked for the video to be shot the coming days as he was about travelling to Jamaica for a project with the Marley family. P-Square pleaded with Akon to give them time to invite their new artist who was also featured on the song. Akon told P-Square that he clearly said ’it’s the remix’ on the song, meaning anyone can be removed or replaced and that his Jamaica trip would last three weeks. P-Square agreed to wait that long so as to buy time to get May D over for the video shoot. His claim that Akon insisted on not shooting the video unless he is there was a blatant LIE.

One of Nollywood’s finest, Halima Abubakar has announced her conversion from Islam to Christianity, dedicating her life to serve Jesus Christ after she was divinely healed from a mysterious ailment that held her down for nine years.
She is set to give an open testimony of her miraculous healing, the untold story behind her ailment, and how God intervened, using the Queen Belemzy Ministries (School of Power) to bring her back on her feet.
Abubakar’s official testimony was part of the activities lined up for the Queen Belemzy Ministries programme tagged Holy Ghost Revival, at Merit House, Maitama Abuja last Saturday 4 July 2026.
The multiple award-winning actress stated: “I’m a brand new person now. I have given my life to Christ. I want to serve God because He has helped me. I almost died. They almost killed me. This is not about movies; this is about restoration and testimony. Halima Abubakar is back, big and better.”
Abubakar reminisced that the first time Apostle Queen Belemzy called her on the phone, “I was somehow rude to her because of my mood then, but she still went ahead to pray with me over the phone. I later felt the impact of her prayers regarding my health, so I started searching for her number via my Whatsapp calls. I eventually got in touch with her, she continued to pray with me and God took control of everything through her.
”Right now, I’m ready to serve God because He wants me to serve Him. He has delivered me, so I need to serve Him and preach His gospel to the people,” Abubakar concluded.
