Singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, popularly known as May D, has shared details about his marital life on the Honest Bunch Podcast. 

May D revealed that he was a “house husband” to his foreign wife in Sweden, where he resided for a period.

According to May D, his European tour took him to Sweden, where he drew inspiration for his music. 

He had been in a relationship with a Swedish girlfriend since 2014, and during his visit, he met her parents and decided to settle down. 

May D got married to his girlfriend and became a stay-at-home dad, taking care of their child while his wife worked.

May D emphasised that his decision to stay at home was not due to financial dependence on his wife. 

Instead, he chose to prioritise his family and take care of their child. 

He noted that his music career and shows provided him with a steady income, often exceeding his wife’s earnings.

Unfortunately, May D said his marriage came to an end during the COVID-19 lockdown. 

He revealed that he got stuck in Nigeria, which led to the divorce. 

He revealed: “A show took me to Sweden but I decided to stay there. Inspiration is in Sweden.

“I was on an European tour and Sweden was the last leg of the tour. I already had a girlfriend from Sweden since 2014, she was always visiting Nigeria. I met her parents when I visited her country, and they were cool so we decided to get married. I decided to get a house there because of her, and I started living there.

“I was a house husband while my wife was working. I was only doing shows there, but was making more than her if I get shows. I didn’t care about being a house husband because we had a child and I was the one taking care of the child. My wife couldn’t be working and taking care of the baby at the same time.

“We eventually divorced during COVID-19 because I got stuck in Nigeria. Even if I was cheating that wasn’t a reason for the divorce because”.

May D hinted that infidelity was not the reason for the divorce, but he did not elaborate on the specific circumstances surrounding the split.

Singer May D has recounted alleged poor treatment during his time at Square Records, a label owned by P-Square.

In a recent podcast episode on Honest Bunch, May D revealed that he lacked basic comforts, including a decent living space and a bank account while signed to the label.

According to him, the lack of a bank account was duly on his part because he didn’t have resources enough to open one.

He recalled Davido, then a rising artist, sought refuge with him after running away from home. 

However, he said Davido was shocked by the poor condition of May D’s room at P-Square’s mansion.

“When Davido was running from his dad, he came to my room in P-Square’s house, he was like ‘May-D is this where you stay? I can’t sleep here oh’…If I had a room, it would have been cooler.

“For the four years I was with P-Square, I didn’t have a bank account. That wasn’t their fault. It’s only when someone has money that he opens an account,” he said.

“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.
