Peter Okoye, formerly of the Psquare duo, has written an open letter to his brother Paul, addressing their ongoing feud. In a heartfelt message posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Peter expressed his feelings and provided his perspective on the conflict.In the letter, Peter emphasized that he is not in competition with Paul or anyone else. He expressed his frustration over Paul’s numerous interviews where Paul discredited Peter’s contributions to Psquare. Peter pointed out that despite Paul’s claims of writing and singing 99% of Psquare’s songs, he failed to acknowledge many successful tracks that Peter had a hand in creating.Peter highlighted that whenever he spoke about Psquare in interviews, he always referred to the group as “we” and “us,” seeing them as a team. In contrast, Paul consistently used “I” and “me,” which Peter felt marginalized his existence within the group. Peter reminded Paul that the fans fell in love with Psquare due to their combined effort and unique synergy, not because of individual talents.#heavenonearth2024: Peterson Okopi and Popular Fashion Designer Prudent Gabriel Announces Engagement shares Beautiful photos and their official hashtag.Peter concluded the letter by addressing the disrespect he felt from Paul towards him, his wife, and his family. He questioned the benefit Paul gained from belittling him and emphasized that this ongoing feud only disappoints and alienates their fans. Peter expressed his genuine wish for Paul’s success and acknowledged the impact of the false narratives that have been spread.I He later added that he is focusing on his music in peace, that As for the case with the EFCC , he will address it before the end of day.PETER OKOYE.The letter read thus: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% 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.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?Every time I have spoken in interviews about P-SQUARE, I have always used “we” and “us” because I saw us as a team. But whenever you speak, it’s always “I” and “me,” even when I’m standing right beside you. It’s as if I never existed.My brother, neither of us is the most talented artist in the world, but you fail to understand that God gave us this talent and even granted us another chance to excel after our last breakup. Instead, you chose to turn the most awarded and decorated music group in Africa into a laughingstock again.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. 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.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, always looking 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. You are the Author and Finisher of P-SQUARE! In fact, I dash you 100% of everything instead of the 99% you claim.I blame myself for not responding to your tweet claims in April 2015 that you wrote and sang all of P-SQUARE’s songs. I didn’t respond to these false claims for the sake of peace, as advised by family and friends, and now I am paying dearly for it.So, my brother, let me ask you: Is Rudeboy or Mr P bigger and more successful than P-SQUARE today? Are we individually selling out arenas and stadiums like P-SQUARE used to? Are we topping world music charts with our songs as solo artistes?Do we command crowds and entertain massive audiences like P-SQUARE?I often find myself wondering, what do you truly gain by constantly disrespecting and belittling me all the time. 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. 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.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.He later added in his tweet:Please allow me to focus and do my music in peace.As for the EFCC matter, I will address it before the end of today. Stay tuned! Peace✌🏾PETER OKOYE.www.twitter.com/spyetv
