Singer Skales and DJ Neptune have risen in defence of Mr. May D after a video of him performing on the street went viral.

DJ Neptune expressed disappointment at the negative reactions, stressing that Mr. May D is simply hustling legally with his God-given talent and deserves respect.

He added that the fact someone is struggling today does not mean they won’t succeed tomorrow.

DJ Neptune wrote, “Sigh! Your fellow man is hustling legally for his daily bread with his God-given talent, and this is what you have to say? Everything shouldn’t be for cruise. E red today, no mean say e no go green tomorrow. SMH”.

Skales took a stronger stance, blessing Mr. May D and praising him for his honest work.

He criticised those mocking Mr. May D, calling them out for having no real achievements and probably being scammers.

Skales emphasised that many artists face struggles and that being down today doesn’t mean they won’t rise again.

Skales wrote: “God bless you Mayd …, na honest work you dey do you no kill person… stay deligent …GOD GATCHYOU BROTHER.. I am praying for you.

“God bless you Neppy for this… Alota artiste go through tings men … because he is down today don’t mean he ain’t gon rise again … to think that nigga mocking him has no form of achievement but he pushing 40 and prolly is a scammer and he is here mocking someone with a real job … look the big scar wey dey him face sef … shrek looking grown ass man”.
