May D says he gained financial freedom after parting ways with P Ssquare Records 

Nigerian singer May D has recounted how he gained financial freedom after parting way with P Square Records jointly owned by the Okoye brothers Jude, Peter and Paul Okoye.

The musician who opened up on the latest episode of the Honest Bunch Podcast while he was under contract with the recording label for four years, he never had a bank account.

He said that he never thought it wise for him to open a personal bank account which made him lose out on a lot of endorsements as all he could do at the time was to save the monies he got from shows.

“I didn’t have a bank account for the four years that I was with Psquare, but it’s not their fault because I was supposed to open one. If I had money coming in, then I’d have opened one. But even when we had endorsements, they’d have to call Jude first, and I lost all the endorsements. I was staying there and saving all the money I got from shows.”

However, May D revealed that he attained financial freedom when he parted ways with P Square Records and started getting bookings when he took his destiny into his own hands.

“Let me even tell you how I got my first TV. When it was put online that I was no longer with P Square, my phone started blowing up like crazy. When I picked up the phone, I was offered a show in Ibadan for one million. Then another person called to book me for a gig at the civic center for 1.5 million, another one was another 1million.”

“I then had to open a bank account, and when I did open it, I wanted to eat and I saw that I had over 3 million. I was so shocked that I withdrew the money just to believe it. After I withdrew it I went to ShopRite and bought a TV, it was my very first TV, and I was so shocked.” May D said.
