Peter Okoye slams twin brother’s comments on P-Square’s legacy

Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, has publicly criticized his twin brother, Paul Okoye, known as RudeBoy, for downplaying his contributions to their former group, P-Square.

Peter posted an emotional open letter on his Instagram page, accusing Paul of repeatedly undermining his efforts in co-founding and building P-Square, which rose to prominence in the music industry.

The letter reveals Peter’s frustrations and the tension between the brothers, who were both instrumental in the group’s success.

The letter read in part: “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.

“In your recent interviews, you claimed that you wrote and sang 99 percent of all P-SQUARE songs and discredited me by saying that our song with TI “EjeaJo,” which I wrote, was a failure.

“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? We both have talent, no doubt, and I have often praised you in our interviews for your songwriting ability.

“But instead of showing gratitude for my kind words, you seem to find satisfaction in rubbing it in my face, forgetting that it is by God’s grace that we have come this far.
“Rather than joining forces with me to reclaim our number 1 spot in the music industry, you chose to team up with Jude to claim the number 1 spot in the P-SQUARE group.

“You always look for opportunities to marginalize and humiliate me. You are always claiming to be P-SQUARE’s songwriter, composer, producer, singer, backup vocalist, in fact you are everything including P-SQUARE’s video director, band, promoter, manager, even the choreographer.
