NIGERIAN singer and one of the Psquare twins, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has openly responded to his twin brother, Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, stating they had disappointed their fans.
This was stated in an open letter he shared on social media on Monday, August 12.
In the letter addressed to his brother, Mr P stated that Rudeboy constantly discredited his efforts in their group in several interviews he had granted.
“I have told you several times, I am not in a 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 volume,” he said.
He further said that their fans loved them due to their combined effort, uniqueness and unity.
“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.
“We both have talent, no doubt, and I have often praised you in our interviews for your songwriting ability. I have also praised anyone who has ever written a song for us or even for me as Mr. P. 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,” he added.
This is not the first time the twins have publicly discussed their issues and split as a group.
In 2017, they announced their separation. However, in 2017, they ended their rift and performed together during a show at Sierra Leone National Stadium in Freetown.
They were together until recently when Rudeboy revealed in an interview that “PSquare was no more”. He added that Mr P had pulled out from the group because he was no longer interested and asked that they should both make their decision private.
Mr P however expressed his desire to continue with his music career peacefully and wished his brother the best, not minding the rift between them.
”I hope you are happy now. I genuinely wish you nothing but the best, bro! As for those who believe these lies and false narratives and come to my page to drop negative comments, I understand because you have been fed the wrong narrative for a long time.
“Please allow me to focus and do my music in peace,” he added.
