The clips, which showed the 40-year-old artist performing to a small crowd, revived past tensions, including his January 2025 swipe at Wizkid. Matters escalated when Tufab, an associate of Wizkid, mocked May D’s modest stage setup — a jab that drew swift backlash.

While detractors ridiculed the singer, a wave of support poured in from DJs, rappers, and fans who praised May D’s dedication, resilience, and staying power in the music industry.

The viral moment has since grown into a larger debate about respect, longevity, and clout-chasing within Nigeria’s ever-competitive music scene.
