“Don’t ever compare me to anyone in this industry again!! Especially Wiz!! I’m a different breed! God’s baby,” May D boldly declared.

May D suggested that the split held back his own career trajectory, and had he stayed with the label, he would have been on the same level as Wizkid and Davido.

May D initially rose to fame after signing with Square Records in 2011. However, his time with the label ended in August 2012 when it was officially announced that he was no longer part of the record company.

Despite the setback, May D has continued to build his career, maintaining his presence in the Nigerian music scene.

In his recent remarks, the singer made it clear that he sees himself as a “different breed,” and his musical journey is incomparable to those of others, including Wizkid.
