Nigerian-American musician Akon has weighed in on the feud between Nigerian twin musical act P-Square and their elder sibling, Jude Akon. In an interview with Afrocani, Akon disclosed his early suspicion of the management's unprofessionalism when he first met the group's member Akinmayokun Awodumila, also known as Mr. May D, and the Northside crew for the music video of "Chop My Money" in 2012.
This suspicion arose after the P-Square management refused to include Mr. May D in the video shoot for a hit record featuring his voice. Akon believed that denying Mr. May D the opportunity to appear in the video was unprofessional and a missed chance for the artist to gain visibility and recognition. Akon offered Mr. May D a private arrangement for freedom, but the latter shared this offer with P-Square, which Akon deemed a mistake.
The incident highlighted the importance of talent being leveraged for success, while ignorance could hinder progress.
