Peter ‘Mr. P’ Okoye, a pair of the famous music duo P-Square, has finally addressed the ongoing fallout with his twin brother, Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, accusing him of tarnishing the legacy of the group they both built together.
The P-Square brothers, who first parted ways in 2017 over a disagreement involving their elder brother, Jude Okoye, reunited in 2021, much to the delight of their fans.
However, their reunion was short-lived as Paul recently confirmed the group’s split once again, alleging that Peter was responsible for his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a lengthy Instagram post on Monday, Peter expressed his disappointment in his brother’s actions, questioning why Paul was attempting to “discredit all my efforts” in P-Square.
He also accused Paul of consistently siding with their elder brother, Jude, who he claimed had been trying to “oppress” him.
“My dear brother Paul, just like I have told you several times, I am not in any competition with you or anybody else. However, seeing you grant countless interviews where you constantly discredit my efforts in the group that we both created and built together really speaks volumes,” Peter wrote.
He refuted Paul’s claims that he was the primary songwriter and vocalist for P-Square, emphasising that their success was a result of their combined efforts. “In your recent interviews, you claimed that you wrote and sang 99% of all P-Square songs and discredited me by saying that our song with TI ‘Ejeajo’ which I wrote, was a failure. You went as far as using the YouTube views to discredit me once again.”
Peter listed several of the group’s hit songs, questioning whether those too were considered failures. “You never acknowledged the other songs like ‘Get-Squared’, ‘Bizzy Body’, ‘Personally’, ‘Roll It’, ‘Temptation’, ‘Alingo’, ‘More than a Friend’, ‘Shekini’, ‘Say Your Love’, ‘Gimme Dat’, ‘Senorita’, ‘Igbedu’ and a few others. Were these songs also considered failures as well?”
He further lamented the repeated attempts by Paul to undermine his contributions, accusing him of turning P-Square, once the most awarded and decorated music group in Africa, into a “laughing stock.”
“One thing you need to understand clearly is that the fans didn’t fall in love with P-Square because of who sang or danced the most. What made us special was the magic that came from our combined effort – us two! P-Square was a force, and the fans fell in love with P-Square because of our uniqueness and unity,” he added.
He also criticised Paul for aligning with Jude, suggesting that the family dynamic had played a significant role in the group’s troubles. “You have disrespected my wife, disrespected my family, disrespected my talent, disrespected my ideas, and even sided with Jude when he was clearly trying to oppress me.”
In closing, Peter expressed his frustration over the ongoing narrative and the impact it has had on their fan base. “Now, it feels like you have taken it even further by trying so hard to turn the fans against me by making them believe I’m jealous of you. You have been doing everything for the fans to hate me, but guess what? They will never hate me; instead, they will hate us both because we have disappointed and failed them.”
He ended by wishing his brother well, but also underscored the gravity of the situation, lamenting how the group’s once-stellar reputation had been diminished.
