Peter Okoye, one half of the iconic Nigerian music duo P-Square, has publicly addressed his brother Paul Okoye’s recent statements that he was responsible for writing and performing 99% of their songs. In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Peter expressed his disappointment and frustration over Paul’s repeated efforts to undermine his contributions to the group.
Peter’s open letter detailed several songs he had written, including “Ejeajo,” “Get-Squared,” “Bizzy Body,” and “Personally,” which Paul had overlooked in his interviews. Peter accused Paul of presenting himself as the sole creative force behind P-Square and using the group’s achievements to diminish his own efforts.
He wrote, “My dear brother Paul, it is disheartening to see you repeatedly discredit my contributions to the group we built together. Your recent interviews, where you claim to have written and performed 99% of P-Square’s songs, are particularly hurtful.”
Peter highlighted the collaborative nature of their success and stressed that the magic of P-Square came from their unity and combined talents, not from one individual. He criticized Paul for turning their shared legacy into a platform for self-promotion and for attempting to create discord among their fans.
Peter also questioned the logic behind Paul’s actions and expressed a desire for both to focus on rebuilding their success rather than tearing each other down. He emphasized the importance of their joint efforts in P-Square and called for a resolution to their ongoing disputes.
In closing, Peter wished Paul well but urged him to allow him to continue his music career in peace and without further public attacks. He also mentioned he would address other personal matters, including an EFCC issue, in a separate update.
