Nigerian singer and half of the defunct P-Square duo, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has urged fans to stop comparing him to his twin brother and former bandmate, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, or any other musician.
Speaking in a recent video broadcast, Mr P explained that he wants to focus on his solo career and does not want any distractions.
He emphasised that he is unique and urged fans to allow him be himself.
“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 said.
Meanwhile, Mr P has claimed that his brief reunion with his twin brother, Rudeboy, affected the momentum of his solo career.
Speaking in a recent interview with Cool FM Lagos, Mr P said before their reunion, he was gaining 100,000 followers on Instagram daily, but lost momentum after they reunited.
“Before the reunion, I used to gain 100,000 followers every day. After Davido, it was Don Jazzy and me who were the biggest African celebrities on social media. But after the reunion, everything just dropped,” he said.
Mr P said he deserves more accolades than he is getting, stressing that he has stayed relevant in the music industry for nearly 30 years.
“I have been in the game for nearly 30 years, and I am still trending to date. I deserve more respect,” he added.
