If you thought you had seen the end of the PSquare drama… think again.
BEVERLY HILLS, July 10, (THEWILL) –Peter Okoye aka Mr P, one half of the PSquare duo has accused his twin Paul, elder brother Jude and a show promoter of deliberately misleading the public by using the PSquare stage name to draw crowd for an upcoming show.
In another social media rant, the Olympic ambassador alleged that the show promoters had been hyping a PSquare concert sponsored by Airtel, scheduled to hold in Congo July 8 & 9 without his approval.
According to him, he had been approached about the show but he didn’t agree to the terms and refused to partake in the show. However, their elder brother and former manager Jude, went ahead to book the show. Surprisingly, news being bandied about now was that could not attend the show due to an illness.
Debunking such rumors which he labeled a malicious representation, Peter issued a disclaimer on his Instagram page:
“DISCLAIMER
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 Psquare 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 Psquare performs 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 (Psquare) 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 am 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 actions in the nearest future against the promoters and the sponsors of these events @airtel_congob for character assassination and malicious misrepresentation.
Thank you.

Following his disclaimer Congo Show, a video was obtained by LIB of Peter Okoye of Psquare actually endorsing the show which he claimed he didn’t agree to.
See the video below.
Reacting to the video however, Peter still insists that he didn’t give them his consent as the terms of the contract wasn’t favourable to him.
Taking to his Instagram again, he wrote:
Part1: Again, my attention has been drawn to a publication specifically uploaded on Linda Ikeji’s Blog. For the umpteenth time and in order to set the records explicitly straight, I never stated that I was not aware of the show, I simply stated that the contractual obligations were not favorable to me.
In fact I was authoritatively informed by the organizers of the show that the show had been cancelled 4 days ago whilst money paid had been fully returned.
It was, therefore, surprising to learn that the show was still scheduled to hold on 9th July, 2016 (@ Goma) and 17th August, 2016 (@ Kinshasa- VIP and Live concert) with the false statements being peddled that I was sick and unable to make the flight to Congo with my crew two nights ago to attend the show, in the first instance and my Twin Brother and Co-Owner of the Psquare brand granting a presumed Psquare press conference wherein he stated contradictory facts that I am not present because I missed my flight.
This is gross deception at its peak and no one in his right thinking mind will allow such falsehood to fester.
I must reiterate that I owe my fans and by extension, fans of Psquare the obligation to speak the truth at all times and prevent a situation where the Psquare brand will be built on deception. It is my utmost belief that such a foundation based on falsehood will only create a damning consequence for the brand in the long run.
The issue at stake here is fraudulent misrepresentation of my continued endorsement, participation and use of the Psquare brand without my consent or authority being sought or obtained. The purported Video posted on some blogs wherein it was alleged that I endorsed the show is self explanatory. In the said video, the days slated for the show to hold were 2nd July, 2016 @ Goma and 9th July, 2016 @ Kinshasa, however that video was recorded months ago. The show are slated to hold now on 9th July, 2016 @ Goma and 17th August, 2016 @ Kinshasa- VIP and Lives concert, thus it is easily discernible from the said Video that a new video was required but was not obtained due to inconclusive negotiations between my management and the promoters of the show. Cont’d…
Part2: I was told the show has been cancelled and money returned.
I will not continue to fold my hands when there exists a situation calculated to foster disunity and lack of good faith with the brand.
There are specific questions begging for answers here:
How come Paul never advertised this show upon landing in Congo on any of his social media handles as its customary when artistes are scheduled to perform?
Why did Paul say that I was sick and unable to make the show when in fact, I am hale and hearty?
Why did Paul grant a Psquare press conference stating that I missed my flight and I will arrive for the show, knowing fully well, I am not aware of the continuance of the show?
All of these actions were calculated to deceive the fans and fraudulently misrepresent the facts all in a bid to make money in a none transparent manner and economically assassinate my character, goodwill and credibility.
It is important to speak out for sake of posterity and of course, all my legal Arsenal will be deployed to ensure this fraudulent and mischievous act is addressed and any further recurrence prevented.
Please Note that my loyalty will always remain to the brand PSQUARE.
Thank you.

His brothers Paul and Jude are yet to respond.
