A live-stream session by Tunde Perry has stirred up conversations online after he made claims about Nigerian singer May D's current life abroad, while also retelling a now-viral story from a concert over a decade ago.
In the video, Perry alleged that May D has been working as an Uber driver in Sweden, telling viewers they would need to book him through the app to reach him. He insisted he was being truthful about everything he shared.

Perry then went on to explain the origin of his complicated feelings towards the "Soundtrack" hitmaker.
At a 2012 concert at the Shrine in Lagos, May D reportedly pulled off his clothes mid-performance and flung them into the crowd. Perry said he managed to grab what appeared to be a gold chain from the frenzy, but played it cool to avoid getting beaten by other concert-goers who might have snatched it from him.

Tunde Perry shares amount made from chain
Sharing more, Perry stated that he was terrified that his friends, whom he had already told about catching the chain, might harm him overnight. He claimed he barely slept and crept out of the house around 5 am to sell it.
When he approached a trader to assess it, the chain turned out to be costume jewellery, and he was offered only N200 for it.
The revelation flipped Perry's admiration for May D into resentment, a grudge he appears to have carried for years before airing it publicly on the live stream.
Here is Tunde Perry's Instagram video where he was speaking about May D:
