Nigerian singer May D has issued a stern warning to his fans, urging them to refrain from comparing him to his colleagues in the music industry, particularly superstar Wizkid. The Soundtrack crooner took to X (formerly Twitter) to assert his uniqueness, describing himself as a "special breed" that stands apart from others.
In a recent post, May D wrote, “Don’t ever compare me to anyone in this industry again !! Especially Wiz!! I’m a different breed! God’s baby.” This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about his career trajectory and his place in the Nigerian music scene.
May D, who rose to fame after signing with Square Records in 2011, has previously claimed that his fallout with the record label significantly impacted his career. He suggested that if not for the split, he would have been on the same level as industry heavyweights like Wizkid and Davido.
In August 2012, it was announced that May D had parted ways with Square Records. Reflecting on his career, the singer has often expressed regret over the fallout, stating that it hindered his ability to reach the heights he had envisioned. “I was on the same level as Wizkid and Davido before my fallout with my former record label,” May D has claimed in past interviews.
Despite the challenges, May D has continued to maintain a presence in the music industry, releasing songs and collaborating with other artists. His recent declaration on X underscores his confidence in his unique artistry and his desire to be recognized on his own terms, rather than through comparisons with his peers.
The singer’s comments have sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some applauding his self-assurance and others questioning his claims. Nevertheless, May D remains steadfast in his belief that he is a distinct talent in the Nigerian music landscape.
As the debate over comparisons in the music industry continues, May D’s message serves as a reminder of the importance of individuality and self-expression in an industry often dominated by rivalries and competition.
