The once inseparable Nigerian music duo P-Square is facing a public rift, as evidenced by an emotional open letter penned by Peter Okoye, known as Mr. P, to his twin brother Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy. In a heartfelt and candid post shared on social media, Peter addressed various grievances regarding their professional relationship and recent public statements made by Paul.
In his letter, Peter expressed deep disappointment over Paul’s interviews where he allegedly downplayed Peter’s contributions to their joint music career. Peter disputed Paul’s claim that he was responsible for writing and performing 99% of their songs and criticized him for labeling their collaboration with TI, “EjeaJo,” a failure. Peter also lamented Paul’s tendency to emphasize his individual achievements over their collective success.
Peter recalled the impact of their unity and combined effort that initially endeared P-Square to their fans, emphasizing that their strength lay in their collaboration, not individual accolades. He urged Paul to recognize the value of their joint efforts and expressed frustration over what he perceives as Paul’s attempts to undermine his contributions and create discord.
The open letter also touched on broader personal and professional issues, including perceived disrespect towards Peter’s family and talent. Peter questioned whether either of them, as solo artists, could achieve the same success as they did together. He concluded with a plea for peace and a focus on their music, while hinting at addressing an ongoing EFCC matter later.
Paul Okoye has yet to publicly respond to the open letter, but the feud highlights the challenges faced by the iconic duo as they navigate their individual careers and fractured relationship.
