Is May D’s Career Over? Nigerians Ask After Street Event (Video)

A video of Nigerian singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, popularly known as May D, performing at a street event has gone viral, drawing significant attention online.

In the video, May D was seen performing for an audience that seems largely unresponsive, which has sparked a range of reactions from viewers.

The video has ignited a debate among fans and critics. Some observers have suggested that May D is no longer relevant in the music industry, pointing to the lack of engagement from the crowd as evidence of his fading popularity. Others have responded humorously, making jokes about the situation, while some continue to support the artiste, asserting that he is still relevant due to his strong vocal talent and timeless songs.

In contrast, some fans believe that every artiste experiences highs and lows, and May D’s current situation is just a temporary setback. They argue that he will bounce back and regain his former glory.

The comment section under the viral video is divided, with some critics pointing to comparisons between May D and fellow Nigerian artiste Wizkid, suggesting that May D may have tried to position himself similarly to the star, but failed to maintain his standing.

May D’s rise to fame began in 2011 when he was signed to the record label Square Records, owned by the renowned R&B duo P-Square. His breakthrough came with the release of his first single, “Soundtrack,” in May 2011, followed by a popular music video directed by Clarence Peters. However, in August 2012, it was officially announced that May D had parted ways with the label.

In 2012, he launched his own record label, Confam Entertainment, and later signed with Davido’s label, Davido Music Worldwide, in 2020. Despite the ups and downs in his career, May D continues to maintain a presence in the Nigerian music scene.
