Peter Okoye of the Psquare fame
has downplayed the possibility of the brothers staying together till
retirement.
Speaking with Vibe Magazine,
Peter said “30 children cannot continue to play together for 30 years. Being
apart is the best solution at the moment.”
The singer, who has since gone
solo disclosed that their family feud has lingered for four years.
He said he has no problems with
his other brothers and their wives and doesn’t know what exactly is wrong.
“Some individuals decided to
separate 2 individuals by saying this person is better than this person but my
motto is, if you steal from Peter to pay Paul, you’re paying P-Square. “Oh I
hate this Peter.”
“Well if you see 2 of us on
stage, with Peter on one side and Paul on the other side, you will watch the
show like this. (He covers one side of his face with his phone). The reason why
I started responding to social media is because there was something that came
out one time.
“I was advised “Peter do not say
anything” but it’s affecting me today. When my brother put out that he sings
and writes all the songs. I never responded but right now, there are 50% of our
fans and some groups that believe Peter doesn’t sing. All because I wanted
peace. But now if you say anything about me, I will respond.
“I don’t respond harshly if
you’ve noticed. I’m not like last year. I decided to calm down because my
family is more important here. I cannot trade my family. If you do not like it,
don’t be my fan. If you do not like the fact that I am standing for my family,
then you should not be my fan and I am serious about it.
“My brother is my twin, fine, but
you keep telling me blood is thicker than water. Obviously you think “Paul is
my blood and my family is the water? You guys better be out of your minds.
Being apart is the best solution at the moment. It’s not pride. It’s not ego.
It’s respect. We’ve lost it.”
“Last year, nobody knew what was
happening. ‘When are you guys releasing a song?’ They did not know we were
fighting but we’d still go on stage and perform. All I wanted was to keep the
family together but what the fans wanted was to have Psquare.
“We gave you guys Psquare even
though the family had been fighting for about four years – even as of last year
that we claimed we were back. I cannot even face the shame of making the fans
feel that we are okay. We are not okay. It’s not healthy. I don’t have any
problem with their own family.
“The wives, everybody. I am cool
with them. I don’t know what’s wrong. I don’t know why it looks as if the
hatred is on my family. I’ve tried to ask them what the problem is but nobody
is telling me anything.”
