Cynthia gave an interview to Miss Globe Nigeria, Cassandra, where she spoke extensively about her rift with the label. She lost the rights to her music name which is also her birth name, her Vevo account, Instagram account, and rights to her music.

 

Peter Okoye, co-owner of Northside label, while responding to Cynthia Morgan’s claims said he did what he had to do to protect his freedom and not for money.

May D, on his own end, opened up in the early hours of May 24 where he spoke about his travails under the management.

He wrote;

“For your information, I was staying in their boys squatters with their driver and their cook just one room all of us shared a toilet and I had big songs and also the other side of their twin duplex was empty! Now! I slept on brand new television carton used my shirt as cover cloth”

 

 

The conversation on the gullibility of artistes while signing record deals is one that will always come up. Recall that May D joined Square Records in 2011. He then featured on a remix of ‘Chop My Money’ by P Square and alongside Akon.

 

A short while after, Square Records also shot the videos for May D’s mega-hit songs ‘Soundtrack’ and ‘Ile Ijo’.

 

May D however did not have any signed record deal with the label before they produced and marketed his music.

 

According to sources, the only contract the artist had with Square Records was verbal. By the time they sat down to have a signed deal with May D, he made demands they could not meet which caused them to sever all ties with him in 2012.
