In the candid interview, May D recalled his early days with Psquare, particularly the role the duo played in his rise to fame. “When I first started in the industry, Psquare were like big brothers to me. They helped me a lot, and I learned a lot from them,” he said. However, things began to take a turn when personal and professional differences started to emerge, which ultimately led to the split.
The singer mentioned that the catalyst for the fallout was a misunderstanding over contractual obligations and disagreements about his career trajectory. “It was more about business than anything else,” May D explained. “There were issues with how things were being handled behind the scenes, and as time went on, the relationship soured.”

He saw things I didn’t, and I wish I had listened to his advice.”
May D continued to praise Akon for his guidance, emphasizing the significance of mentorship and the importance of making well-informed decisions in the industry. Despite the tension with Psquare, May D expressed hope for reconciliation, stating that with time, many misunderstandings can be resolved.
“It’s been years, and I’ve grown as an artist and as a person,” he reflected. “If the opportunity arises, I’m open to healing that rift. Life is too short to hold on to grudges.”
