Mr. May D Ignites Buzz with Street Performance at Hushpuppi Club Opening in Lagos

Mr. May D, known for his Afrobeat rhythm and earlier collaborations with the likes of P-Square and Skales, hit the stage during the highly anticipated opening of Hushpuppi cup. His impromptu street-style performance, blending raw vocals with street instrumentation, quickly went viral.

The event featured top names in the Nigerian music scene, including DJ Neptune, Small Doctor, and surprise appearances by Skales and others. Notably, Mr. May D’s appearance reignited public interest in his career, while also drawing mixed reviews online.

The event took place on Friday night, September 13, in Lagos, attracting fans, influencers, and music critics. While the nightclub opening was private, the surrounding street performance brought in a large crowd, with clips shared widely across TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

Mr. May D’s down-to-earth performance style reminded fans of his early street roots. Supporters applauded his humility and “grounded artistry”, comparing his commitment to staying connected with the streets to artists like DJ Neptune and Small Doctor.

However, others criticized the performance, calling it “dated” and comparing it unfavorably to more polished acts, with some online trolls pairing his act with Tufab memes and jokes.

So far, Mr. May D has remained silent, letting the viral clips and fan reactions speak for themselves. Close sources suggest the artist is focusing on an upcoming EP drop, with some insiders hinting that this performance was a teaser strategy.

The performance reignites the conversation around authentic street music, live performance culture, and the evolving tastes of Afrobeats fans. As more artists embrace street-level engagement, Mr. May D’s performance may mark a resurgence in grassroots music appeal, a nod to where many Afrobeat stars began.
