Peter Okoye has
revealed that the reason P-square does
not do a lot of collaborations is because of Paul Okoye.
The twins have been the subject of an ongoing drama, with
Peter firing their elder brother and manager, Jude Okoye. He also
spoke about the problems, stating a number of issues that have
pushed P-square to the brink of breakup.

On their failure to have a lot of collaborations, Peter
revealed that Paul’s refusal to appear in music videos of his collaborations
have been the reason why they don’t have a lot of them.
He said: “Something
happened at Mavin Studios last year that broke my heart.
“Now listen to
this, Psquare featured on songs with J-Martins, Bracket, LKT, 9ice and these 4 songs were done by
Paul alone, but guess what, did I appear in the videos, YES.
“Now hear this, we
have other collabos with Kaha, Darey,Ruggedman. I did these songs alone. How come they don’t have
videos? Paul refused to appear in the videos’.
“So I told Paul
that when next he does collabo alone, he should be in the video alone, because
it got a point where artistes began to feel if they do a collabo with Paul it
gets a video but if it’s me it doesn’t get a video.
“The last collabo
we did was with Flavour and
I refused to do another one. Even Flavour had to speak all the Igbo he knows to
convince me before I agreed to do it. Only for my brother to come and tell me
that ‘shey I thought you said you won’t appear in any video that I did the
collabo alone? Why did you appear on this one?’. I was sad but I knew another
one will come”.
Peter further shared details on their recent collaboration
with Tiwa Savage, and how difficult it was for him to record his verse on the
song.
According to him:“So Tiwa Savage called me, apparently
Paul had gone to do a song with her, not the campaign song they are promoting
now, another Psquare collabo entirely. So she called me that she’s been trying
to reach Paul to get the CD of the song from him that he’s already done his
part, so I went to Paul’s house to help ask for it and tell him that I want to
go to their studio to do my verse and he said he doesn’t know where the CD is.
“I went to the
Mavin studio to meet Tiwa, when I got there, she asked for the CD and I told
her Paul didn’t give me any CD, so I called him again and gave the phone to
Tiwa and told her on phone that the CD is at Omole, so I got into the studio
recorded my verse and when I finished, everybody was clapping. I was surprised
only to realize that Paul had gone to tell them that I don’t sing or write
songs.
“I felt really bad
and betrayed, but I covered up for him. I jokingly asked Teebillz if they gave him Red
Label and he said yes, so I was like you guys caused it, and we laughed over
it. So when my assistant went to pick up the CD, Paul and Jude started shouting
at him to tell Peter that what is he doing at the Mavin studio? He knows how we
work. The next day, I went to Paul and told him how I felt when I heard what he
said. Only for Jude to say that he
made Paul the lead singer of Psquare 8 years ago! A leader leads,
he doesn’t destroy.”
P-square also has collaboration with Yemi Alade on her
forthcoming “Mama Africa” album, but Peter Okoye was not a part of the
recording.
