May D made it to the spotlight after signing a record deal with defunct music group Psquare’s Square Records in 2011. In August 2012, it was officially announced that May D had left the label. The Ile Ijo coroner believes that his fallout with Psquare significantly affected his career in the music industry.
Back in January, May D had revealed that he was a house husband to his foreign wife in Sweden.
The Ile Ijo hitmaker however, made it clear that his wife wasn’t the one feeding him as he had his musical career and shows which was paying him more than his wife.
May D claimed it was his choice to stay at home and take care of their child while his wife did a 9-5 job, unfortunately, his marriage crashed during the COVID-19 lockdown.
