OPEN LETTER TO MY DEAR BROTHER
PAUL OKOYE aka RUDEBOY!
August 12, 2024
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 | have spoken in interviews about
P-SQUARE, I have always used “we” and “us” because
| saw us as a team.
But whenever you speak, it’s
always “” 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 l 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, manage, even the choreographer. You
are the Author and Finisher of P-SQUARE! In fact, I dash you 100% of everything instead of the 99% 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 l 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. 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
Mr Psquare
