The separation and uncertainty of the pandemic took a toll on their marriage, ultimately leading to their divorce. May D’s story has sparked reactions on social media, with some users commenting on the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship during the pandemic.
@OmoniyiMrbaby said: “Isn’t it funny how May D stepped away from music to chase after his white woman, and when she dropped him, he realized how much he had missed? That’s probably why he’s been trying to make a comeback—now he feels like an upcoming artist!”
