OPEN LETTER TO MY DEAR BROTHER PAUL OKOYE AKA RUDEΒΟΥ!
Peter P-Square wrote;
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 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.
You are always claiming to be
P-SQUARE’s songwriter, composer, producer, singer, backup vocalist, in fact you
are everything including P-SQUARE’s video director, band, promoter, manager,
even the choreographer. You are the Author and Finisher of P- SQUARE! In fact,
I dash you 100% of everything instead of the you claim.
I blame myself for not
responding to your tweet claims in April 2015 that you wrote and sang all of P-
SQUARE’s songs. I didn’t respond to these false claims for the sake of peace,
as advised by family and friends, and now I am paying dearly for it.
So, my brother, let me ask you:
Is Rudeboy or Mr P bigger and more successful than P-SQUARE today? Are we
individually selling out arenas and stadiums like P- SQUARE used to? Are we
topping world music charts with our songs as solo artistes?
Do we command crowds and
entertain massive audiences like P-SQUARE?
I often find myself wondering,
what do 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 clearly
trying to oppress me.
Now, it feels like you have
taken it even further by trying so hard to turn the fans against me by making
them believe I’m jealous of you. You have been doing everything for the fans to
hate me, but guess what? They will never hate me; instead, they will hate us
both because we have disappointed and failed them.
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.
