Nigerian singer, May D has opened up on why he fell out with Psquare and Square Records.

Recall that he was signed to the record label in 2011 but left the label on August 21, 2012, over internal disputes.

Speaking in a snippet of an unreleased episode of the Honest Bunch podcast, the 40-year-old implied the Psquare twin brothers cost him a deal with Akon.

“Initially, they did not want to sign me. They were just like let us help you the way we helped J Martins and Bracket. When we went to shoot ‘Chop My Money’ video, I was in Nigeria, they had gone to shoot the video. Akon did not show up till I came to America, he was like he wanted me to be in the video,” he said.

“I was wondering Akon jumped on ‘Chop My Money’ and they were like yes he did. So I have to be in America for the video because Akon said if I am not in America, he is not going to shoot the video.

“When I got to America, Akon called me to his office and was like ‘Guy I have many deals for you, when you get back to Nigeria, call me. This is my number, I will book you a flight, you will come back to America’.

“He asked if I had any deal with these guys, I said no. He said ‘I am not going to say anything, when you get to America we will talk’. When I got to Nigeria, as an honest and clean guy, I told Psquare because they were the ones who carried to me there. If I had known, I would not have told them.”
