Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P, has shared an open letter addressing his twin brother Paul Okoye, known as Rudeboy, expressing deep frustration over what he describes as constant disrespect and belittling. The letter, posted on social media, has garnered significant attention as Peter openly discusses the ongoing rift between the once inseparable PSquare duo.
The Controversy Over Songwriting Credits
In his letter, Peter expressed his dismay over Paul’s repeated claims in various interviews that he was the primary songwriter for the hits they produced together as PSquare. Peter argued that this narrative is misleading, pointing out that whenever he discusses their music, he uses inclusive terms like “we” and “us,” while Paul often takes sole credit.
Accusations of Disrespect
Peter also accused Paul of undermining him in multiple ways, including disrespecting his wife and family, and even collaborating with their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, to oppress him. He questioned Paul’s motives, asking, “What do you truly gain by constantly disrespecting and belittling me all the time?”
Fan Perception and the Bond of PSquare
Despite the internal conflicts, Peter noted that Paul’s efforts to turn fans against him have not succeeded. He emphasized that their fans appreciated them as a unique duo rather than for their individual talents alone. Peter stressed that the public’s love for PSquare was rooted in the dynamic between the two brothers, which made them a standout act in the African music scene.
Addressing Legal Matters
In the letter, Peter hinted at addressing reports of his alleged actions involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) related to issues with Paul and Jude. He promised to provide more clarity on this matter before the end of the day.
Conclusion
Peter Okoye’s open letter sheds light on the deep-seated issues within the Okoye family and the challenges that have plagued their once-successful musical partnership. While the PSquare brand remains iconic in African music, the personal conflicts between the brothers continue to cast a shadow over their legacy.
