Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has spoken out against the constant comparisons between him and his twin brother, Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy. In a recent viral video, Mr P made it clear that he wants to be recognized for his individual talent and career, not as part of a duo.
Peter Okoye's Message to Fans
In the video, Mr P stated, "Stop comparing me with my brother or anyone else. Enough of the comparisons. I want to do me. There is no one like me. I want to do my thing and chop my money." He emphasized that he is unique and urged fans to allow him to pursue his career without distractions.
Impact of P-Square Reunion
Previously, Mr P had revealed that the reunion of P-Square with Rudeboy allegedly slowed down his social media growth. Before the reunion, he was gaining up to 100,000 new followers daily and was among the top Nigerian entertainers in terms of influence, trailing only Davido and Don Jazzy. However, after the reunion, his follower growth dropped significantly.
Fan Reactions
The video sparked mixed reactions from netizens. Some supported Mr P, while others criticized him. @pascalmobis commented, "Bro, this guy's talk and act same way aswear... The only time there's little difference is when they're singing." @berrytobbie said, "Shebi dem say e no sabi sing? Make dem leave am abeg… People are not daft! They know who’s actually the engine behind the sustained relevance." However, @eruubaati65251 called his comment "very stupid" and linked it to the original feud. @EbubeKIN told him to "shut up and go make peace with your bro." @stadewuyi directed a message at Rudeboy, saying, "I hope you are happy with what you have done."
