Nigerian singers, Peter and Paul Okoye, publicly known as Psquare – not only broke off their partnership as a duo in 2017.
They have not also failed to carry the public along, on the stage at which they are- as regards their reconciliation.
In 2021, after their performance together in 2 years, Fans have been anticipating the news of the duo coming back together.
However, with a recent publication by Peter Okoye, it seems every attempt to hope is futile.
Paul Okoye recently accused his twin Peter, of being behind his recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
And for the first time, Peter has come to the public with an open letter, to address this.
This was shared on his Instagram page on the 12th of August 2024, and It read-
“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.
“My brother, neither of us is the most talented artist in the world, but you fail to understand that God gave us this talent and even granted us another chance to excel after our last breakup. Instead, you chose to turn the most awarded and decorated music group in Africa into a laughingstock again.
“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.
“I hope you are happy now. I genuinely wish you nothing but the best, bro! As for those who believe these 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.
“As for the EFCC matter,
I will address it before the end of today. Stay tuned! Peace.”
Fans look forward to Paul’s reply and have also gone ahead in his comments, to pray and wish them peace.
