It’s been quite a while since Sure Boy, Mister May-D parted ways with Square Records. Over four months in fact. Throughout this period however, the media could only speculate as to the actual reasons for the split. For the first time, Jude ‘Engees’ Okoye, P-Square manager and CEO Northside Entertainment has shed light on why P-Square did not see eye to eye with the ‘Ile Ijo’ crooner and had to break their working relationship.
In an exclusive interview that he had with Hip Hop World while the singing duo were performing in Uganda, Jude Okoye said “As part of our giving back to society, we said let’s help some artistes. J Martins came, we helped him. Immediately he became big, we let him go to be independent. The same thing with Bracket. But May D’s own was different. We said let’s have this group thing. Let’s have him on board.
It was when we wanted to officially sign him. That was when the problem came up. He wanted to have what P-Square had, which was not possible. You know it took P-Square like seven, eight years to get the cars, the houses and everything, and within a year, someone was looking for something like that. So, I told him you can’t get that from here. Maybe there’s a better option for you out there, go get it.”
May D has since moved on and launched his own record label, Confam Entertainment. He also recently dropped the video to his newest single ‘Gat me High’.
