Peter Okoye, member of the defunct P-Square, AKA, Mr. P, has reacted to his older brother’s statement of “shouldering” the music group and managing them until they “became big, influential and successful”.
However, Mr P has come out to ask, “You were shouldering who?”, saying, “you were employed as a manager by Peter and Paul”.
In his statement, Jude Okoye said, his brothers “got greedy and wanted to eat alone and so left”, and added, “una dey find money wen una don chop finish”.
In his response to Jude Okoye, Mr P wrote on his official X account: “JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE OLDER, DOESN’T MEAN YOU DESERVE RESPECT. RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GIVEN.
“Calling me broke or wishing I was broke has been your wish. These are the exact same words you told the EFCC officials. And you ended up getting locked up in prison. Of course, you have to come up with another narrative.
“You were shouldering who? Agbaya, you were employed as a manager by Peter and Paul and you got sacked the same as the other 2 managers before you. Period! I understand this may not sit well with some people, but truth be told, aside from my businesses, what I now earn on my own as a solo artiste today is more than what I used to earn after splitting three ways as PSQUARE plus the so-called manager.
“I am talking about both shows and endorsements. It really makes me question what’s the point of sharing with people who stole from you, betrayed you, and still discriminate against your efforts!?
“This solo journey has been a blessing—more rewarding and profitable, both financially and personally, no doubt. And it has also brought me peace of mind. And if you don’t relate or it doesn’t make sense to you, no worries—it’s not meant to. But I am grateful.
“But again, despite we are in court! Una never still answer the question, UNA THIEF ABI UNA NO THIEF ? Ndi ori.I have stopped playing nice and being the matured one while getting disrespected!I started treating people exactly how they treat me.
“Respect me, I respect you!Ignore me, I ignore you!Cross me, I cut you off, simple.Life isn’t about begging people for fair treatment!It’s about matching energy;it is what it is. Tit for tat!I stayed real, I stayed strong, and I stopped letting people walk over me. PETER OKOYE.”
HC: This is really serious!!
