"Chop My Money" is a song by Nigerian R&B duo P-Square, released as the second single from their fifth studio album The Invasion (2011). It features vocals from Akon and May D. Upon its release, the song was met with positive reviews. The music video was directed by Jude Engees Okoye and Ben Marc. It was released on February 23, 2012 and has since eclipsed the 16 million views mark on YouTube. P-Square recorded the song shortly after signing a partnership deal with Akon's Konvict Muzik.
"Chop My Money" loosely means "Spend My Money". During an interview with Tim Westwood in 2012, the duo were asked about their collaboration with Akon and how it came about. They said they've known Akon for several years and their collaboration with him was an easy transition.
On August 26, 2012, P-Square headlined the "Love AfroBeats Festival 2012". The concert took place in London and featured performances from the duo, Wande Coal, E.L, Fuse ODG, Ezi and DL. The duo performed "Chop My Money" to a sold out crowd at the HMV Apollo.
"Chop My Money" was nominated for "Best Pop Single", "Best Collabo" and "Song of the Year" at The Headies 2012.
