Popular singer Peter Okoye, widely known as Mr. P of Psquare fame, has sent an open letter to his twin brother, Paul Okoye, often known as Rudeboy.
In the open letter shared on his X account, Mr. P stated that he was not in competition with his brother, Rudeboy, or any other artist.
Mr. P expressed his displeasure with his brother constantly disparaging him in interviews and making comparisons about who was the best singer and dancer between them. According to Mr. P, Rudeboy called their song with TI, "EjeaJo," a failure, but failed to mention the numerous hits they made with songs that Mr. P wrote.
Furthermore, Mr. P asserted that during interviews, he uses "we" or "us" because he sees himself and his brother as a team. Without each other, their union wouldn't have progressed as far as it did.
He admitted that he blamed himself for not responding to Rudeboy's tweet in 2015, where Rudeboy claimed to have written and sung all Psquare songs. Mr. P chose not to respond in order to maintain peace and avoid conflict with his brother.
Mr. P wished Rudeboy success in his endeavors, adding that any lies Rudeboy tells their fans to make them hate him would not hold. He said their fans would end up disappointed in both of them for not meeting expectations and for falling apart.
Part of the letter reads, "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."
