    Waitress calls out May D over N11,000 food debt

    A waitress has accused Singer May D of owing N11,000 for food and drink bill since January.

    She claimed May D and friends left for a club that same day and didn’t arrive until the next day. 

    When it was time to reconcile account by 10 am the next day, she decided to contact the singer through a phone number offered by a friend still in the hotel.

    The lady alleged that he had given her an offensive reply instead.

    After much back and forth, he finally paid N45,000 with an outstanding balance of N11,000 since January.

    She wrote: “My encounter with a celebrity as a waitress….Disclaimer: this isn’t clout chasing, I just want my money!!!

    “So about two months ago Mr MayD and friends came to the hotel where I work to lodge, and I served them food and drinks, it was on Friday, 12 of Jan,2024….

    “So after he had foods and drinks on Friday, they all went to the club and didn’t come back that same night, was so scared coz I would have been the one to pay if he ended up not paying, but one of his friends was still in the hotel so I was a bit assured I’ll get the money..

    “Fast forward to the next day which was on Saturday 13th,of Jan 2024.
    Our hotel rule is to do our sales account before 10am in the morning, so I got his contact from his friend who was in the hotel to reach out to him so I can get the money and his response was totally offensive.
