Nigerian Hip-hop twins, Peter and Paul Okoye of the popular PSquare group, appear to be splitting up, finally.
Peter, on Monday, gave credence to the purported tales of separation of the musical group.
In a letter written to their lawyer, Festus Keyamo, Peter is seeking to dissociate himself from the group, citing threat to life, disregard for his family and failure to honour past agreements as some of the reasons he cannot continue with the musical group.
He said although the decision to quit was a tough one, Peter noted that he has tried and exhausted all options to work things out, but that Paul is not willing to cooperate.
“For example, he cancelled our U.S. tour without discussing it with me. Unknown to me, he cancelled each show as we were being booked. He has also been accusing and threatening my wife and family of unimaginable lies via social media outlets. Me and my wife have been getting different threatening messages. I fear for my life and the life of my family. I cannot continue with PSquare in conditions like this that will jeopardize my wellbeing,” he stated.
He also recalls an incident where the group’s manager and their elder brother Jude threatened to kill him and shoot his wife in the presence of Paul and Mrs Imoke (former First Lady of Cross River State).
“He repeated it several times in front of you and other individuals. Last year at your office, he threatened me to come with my coffin whenever he sees me around his house. He stood up and hit me in front of you and the other lawyers. I have documented video of when this moment occurred and I have played it for you. One thing for sure, we are family first before PSquare,” he said.
Peter recalls how last year, they put aside their differences to appease the fans, even though there were still unresolved issues on ground and the other parties failed to honour their own end of the deal.
“I wish Jude and Paul the best in their careers. I love them and their families, but my family too is important and I cannot betray my wife and kids. My family comes first. There have been so many threats against me and my family and it’s in the best interest of me and my family to remove myself from this contract,” he said.
While many thought that the rift between the brothers had been finally put to rest, the news of their separation went viral on the Social media recently after Peter posted a Snapchat video revealing that he is in Philadelphia on his own for a solo show – without his twin brother, Paul.
“My name is Mr P,” Peter said “As from today, guess what? It’s show time, I’m about to go on stage.”
This post came days after his brother, Paul wrote on Instagram saying; “Only a woman can come where there’s peace and destroy it”.
