Senegalese-American singer and record producer, Akon, has weighed in on the ongoing feud between twin brothers, Peter and Paul of the now defunct P-Square music group.

The artist, while speaking during an interview with Afrocani, spoke about his professional experience with the group and their then management. Akon explained that he observed the P-Square management was not being run professionally.

He recalled a collaboration that included May D, alleging that the management wanted to leave him out of the music video. Akon explained that he insisted May D be invited to appear in the video, stressing that he believes fame should open doors and not close them.

‎”I knew something wasn’t right with the management when they wanted us to shoot the video without May D. That was simply unprofessional. I first sensed something was wrong when the management told me May D would not appear in the video for a hit record that carried his golden voice. Honestly, I felt bad for him. I know how painful it can be to hear your voice become part of something successful, yet be denied the opportunity to stand in the visuals and be seen. I insisted that May D be brought to America because I believe anyone who has talent and is being heard deserves the opportunity to be seen. That is what fame is supposed to be about – opening doors, not closing them,” he stated

Last year, May D spoke up regarding his time under P-Square’s management, confirming Akon’s statement about the collaboration.

He said that Akon refused to shoot the video with the twin singers unless he was involved in the video production in America, adding that he also offered him various opportunities and promised to fly him back to America. He admitted that he however, made the mistake of informing the P-square brothers about his conversations with Akon.
