Singer Peter Okoye has responded with an open letter to his twin brother Paul Okoye’s allegations about their second split.
He addressed Paul’s claims that he wrote 99% of P-Square’s songs and debunked Paul’s statement that their song “EjeAjo” was a failure.
The singer lists several successful songs he wrote and contributed to, feeling undervalued and disrespected by Paul’s comments. Peter voiced his frustrations and concerns following a recent series of public statements by his brother Paul, which he stressed have undermined their joint legacy and his contributions to the group.
He wrote in part, “An open letter to my dear brother Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy. Just like I have told you several times, I am not in competition with you or anybody else. However, seeing you grant countless interviews where you constantly discredit my effort for the group that we both created and built together speaks volumes.
In your recent interviews, you claim that you wrote and sang 99% of all P Square songs…The singer’s letter also highlighted the personal toll of the public feud, including what he describes as ongoing disrespect towards his family, his wife, and himself. I often find myself wondering what 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 trying to oppress me. Now, if you like, you have taken it further by trying so hard to turn the fans against me by making them believe that I’m jealous of you,” he wrote.
In the detailed letter, Peter emphasised his desire to move forward peacefully and focus on his music, despite the conflict between them.
The singer added, “I hope you are happy now. I genuinely wish you nothing but the best, bro! As for those who believe 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. Please allow me to focus and do my music in peace.”
Peter concluded his letter with a promise to address ongoing legal issues involving the EFCC and the group’s former manager and elder brother, Jude Okoye.
The rumours of their split first made headlines in 2015. But it was in 2017 that it became apparent that the centre could no longer hold.
In September, Peter Okoye announced his departure from P-Square, citing ongoing disagreements and irreconcilable differences with his brother Paul and their management.
The announcement led to a flurry of social media posts and interviews, with both brothers expressing their frustrations and grievances.
There was also a viral video of the brothers almost exchanging blows at their lawyer’s office while insulting each other. When the fight between Peter and Paul started, Jude Okoye, their elder brother and long-time manager, picked sides with Paul.
