Nigerian singer Akinmayokun Awodumila, better known as May D, has spilled some surprising tea about his personal life.
The Soundtrack crooner recently revealed that he was once secretly married to a Swedish woman, embraced life as a “house husband,” and eventually went through a divorce during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Speaking on The Honest Bunch podcast, May D shared the details of his time in Sweden, where he played an unexpected role taking care of their child while his wife worked.
“I went to Sweden for a show and decided to stay because my girlfriend at the time was Swedish,” he explained. “So, I became a house husband. What do you want me to do? Go and work?”
But don’t think he was struggling far from it. May D was still raking in serious cash from his music gigs, earning way more than his working-class wife.
“When I go for shows, I make five times what she earns in a month,” he said. “I was comfortable. I stayed home with our baby because my wife couldn’t manage both work and childcare at the same time.”
Despite the unconventional setup, things took a turn during the pandemic. May D revealed that being stuck in Nigeria during the lockdown ultimately led to the breakdown of their marriage.
“We got divorced during COVID-19 because I couldn’t return to Sweden. That’s how she ended things. You know, they think differently from us,” he said.
