P-Square: You disrespected me, my talent, wife – Mr P writes open letter to brother, Rudeboy
Nigerian singer, Paul Nonso Okoye, better known as Rudeboy, has confirmed the split of their music group, Psquare, for the second time.
Naija News recalls that the duo, which consists of Paul and his twin brother, Peter Okoye, popularly known Mr P, first split in 2016 but reunited in 2021.
In June, Nigerian celebrity journalist, Stella Dimokokorkus, said the twin brothers are at war over joint funds being allegedly diverted by their elder brother cum music executive, Jude Okoye.
In a recent interview with City FM, Lagos, Rudeboy confirmed that the group has broken up again, stating that the plan to produce hit albums together will no longer happen.
Rude Boy claimed that he was wrongly accused of saying that he is the music group singer while Peter is the dancer, and the issue hurt his brother.
The singer said Peter told him to his face that he was no longer interested in the music group and was not ready to make the issue public.
He said, “The plan of our coming back together was going to produce a lot of hit albums. But as it is now, I’m just focusing on Rudeboy. Trust me, it is not everything that I would want to say.
“I was being accused of saying that he [Peter] was the dancer and I’m the singer. I know whenever we go to the airport, people ask are you a singer or a dancer? I didn’t know it was touching him. But I know there was a time we came together and said, ‘don’t allow this thing get to you, you should be proud of what you’re doing. That’s the role you’re playing.’
“We have a song we did with T.I, ‘Eja Jo’. That was when the issue started. Till today, that song is still on 3 million views because people didn’t hear the PSquare’s voice that they are used to.
“When we came back together, because I didn’t want the issues that happened before, I told my brother to show himself, let us be involved in the creative process together. I told him we should share who carries the tracks equally but still it wasn’t working.
“The new PSquare was peaceful. I needed the past mistakes not to repeat themselves. But then again he [Peter] said he’s no more doing [no longer interested]. In fact, he told me in the face that he wants to quit. I asked if we could make it public and he refused. But what will happen when I go solo? People will call me the bad person. That’s why I’m speaking up now.”
