Peter Okoye has recently taken to social media to address his twin brother and former P-SQUARE bandmate, Paul Okoye, in a heartfelt and revealing open letter. The letter, which details Peter's frustrations and reflections on their fractured relationship, has garnered significant attention from fans and the media alike.
In his letter, Peter expresses his discontent with Paul’s public statements, particularly those made during recent interviews. Peter accuses Paul of diminishing his contributions to P-SQUARE, the highly successful music duo they co-founded. Paul has claimed in interviews that he was responsible for writing and performing 99% of P-SQUARE’s songs and has disparaged several of their joint projects, including the song "EjeaJo," which Peter wrote.
Peter highlights a pattern where Paul overlooks many of the duo's successful tracks such as "Get-Squared," "Bizzy Body," and "Personally," questioning whether these songs are also deemed failures by Paul. He emphasizes that their success was built on their collaboration and unity, not on individual achievements.
The letter also criticizes Paul’s tendency to speak in terms of "I" and "me," whereas Peter has consistently used "we" and "us" to reflect their joint efforts. Peter feels this approach erases his contributions and undermines the spirit of their partnership.
Peter reflects on their past success and expresses regret for not addressing Paul's claims from an April 2015 tweet, where Paul had asserted that he was solely responsible for P-SQUARE’s success. Peter had chosen to stay silent, prioritizing peace over confrontation, but now believes this decision has negatively impacted him.
The open letter also touches on Peter’s disappointment with Paul’s actions post-breakup, suggesting that instead of working together to reclaim their former success, Paul has aligned with their older brother Jude to elevate himself within the group’s legacy, further marginalizing Peter.
Peter questions whether their solo careers, as Rudeboy and Mr P, have matched the success of P-SQUARE, pointing out that neither brother has achieved the same level of prominence or success as they did as a duo.
In closing, Peter expresses a genuine wish for Paul's success, despite their strained relationship. He acknowledges that fans who have been misled by distorted narratives may harbor negative feelings but expresses hope that they will understand the true situation.
The letter serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities behind the public image of P-SQUARE and the personal struggles that have unfolded between the two brothers.
