Family feud: You’ve always tried to humiliate me for years, Peter tells Paul
Peter Okoye, aka Mr P, one half of the renowned music duo, P-Square, has replied to his twin brother, Paul, aka Rudeboy who allegedly disrespected him.
In a post titled, “Open Letter To My Dear Brother, Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy!”, which he posted on his social media, Mr P claimed that his twin brother has, over the years, tried to humiliate him.
Mr P stressed that claims by his brother that he wrote 99% of all P-Square songs are untrue, adding that he has always refused to acknowledge his effort to grow the defunct group.
“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?” He queried.
Furthermore, Peter chided his brother for always personalising their achievement when they were together as P-square.
He pointed out that Rudeboy has always acted as if he never existed whenever he grants an interview to reel out the achievements of Psquare.
Mr P lamented that Rudeboy has turned the Psquare group, which according to him, was the most awarded and decorated music group in Africa into a laughingstock.
He wrote, “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.”
Additionally, he asked his twin if either of them became more successful or known as individual singers than when they were a team, saying, “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.”
Mr P knocked Rudeboy for disrespecting him and everyone around him and trying to turn their fans against him with falsehood.
“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,” he stated.
