P-Square
Nigerian singing duo, P-square, are at war again, ending the relative calm enjoyed in their camp since the much publicised beef in March this year.
One of the duo, Peter Okoye now known as ‘Mr P,’ has dissociated himself from a concert scheduled to hold in Congo with P-Square as headliners, stressing that he never endorsed the usage of his name as the contractual terms presented were not favourable to him.
He threatened legal action against his brothers, Paul and Jude. He also punctured the claim by Paul and Jude that he was sick and could not make the trip, saying that he is “101 percent healthy.”
“This goes out to all my fans in Congo specifically and the entire world in general.
My attention has been drawn to a much publicised show holding today, 8th July, 2016 (VIP SHOW) and tomorrow 9th July, 2016, (in Goma) and on the 17th of August in Kinshasa wherein the name P-Square was used maliciously and mischievously to garner patronage and huge fans attendance as against the stage name Rudeboy, which is used when my twin brother, Paul and Co-owner of the stage name, P-Square perform alone.
“I never endorsed the usage of my name as the contractual terms presented were not favourable to me thus, I am not part of the show booked by our former manager, Jude, and I wholeheartedly disassociate myself from the unauthorized use of my Co-owned stage name (P-Square) and images for promotional and economic reasons without my express written consent or permission.
“Contrary to the wild allegations making the rounds that I could not attend the show because I was sick and missed my flight along with my crew members, I wish to counter same and state categorically, that I am 101% healthy.
“I shall take appropriate legal action in the nearest future against the promoters and the sponsors of these events @airtel_congob, for character assassination and malicious misrepresentation.
Thank you. Mr.P (Peter of P-Square),” he posted on his Instagram page.
