May D Sparks Reactions After Warning Fans Against Comparing Him to Wizkid
Nigerian singer Mr May D, known for hits like Ile Ijo, has found himself at the center of controversy after a bold statement warning fans against comparing him to Wizkid.
The singer took to Twitter to express his frustration, insisting that he is in a league of his own and should not be measured against anyone in the industry—especially Wizkid. His post quickly gained traction, drawing mixed reactions from fans and music lovers.
May D’s Controversial Tweet
In a now-viral tweet, May D wrote:
"Don’t ever compare me to anyone in this industry again!! Especially Wiz!! I’m a different breed!!! GOD’s baby."
To further prove his point, he recounted an old memory involving Wizkid:
"I remember when I went to an event and Wizkid was performing my song with Kel ‘Too Fine,’ and I was in the crowd. I still love him till date but never compare."
While some fans saw this as a harmless statement of self-worth, others, particularly Wizkid FC, took it as a subtle jab at their favorite artist.
Wizkid FC Fires Back
Wizkid’s loyal fanbase, known for their fierce support, did not take May D’s comments lightly. Many accused him of using Wizkid’s name for clout, suggesting that he was trying to stay relevant by involving the Afrobeats superstar in his statements.
One fan tweeted:
"Ologo yesterday dey find clout… nobody even remembers your last hit, abeg rest!"
Another added:
"You say make we no compare, but you’re the one bringing up Wizkid. Pick a struggle."
The backlash continued, with fans dragging May D over his past career struggles, reminding him of how he once claimed P-Square treated him unfairly during his time under their label.
Industry Perspective: A Case of Misunderstood Confidence?
Despite the backlash, some fans defended May D, arguing that he was simply asserting his position in the industry and not necessarily discrediting Wizkid.
"May D actually contributed to Afrobeats with some solid hits. Y’all need to put respect on his name," one user tweeted.
Others pointed out that he was likely speaking out of frustration, given how many artists often get overshadowed when compared to more mainstream acts.
Final Thoughts
May D’s tweet has reignited conversations about comparisons in the Nigerian music industry. While some believe he was justified in making such a statement, others feel he invited unnecessary backlash by bringing Wizkid into the discussion.
