Peter Okoye Disassociates Himself From The Upcoming Psquare Concert In Congo

Published

July 9, 2016

Peter, Paul and Jude Okoye have had series of running battles in the past few years, which ultimately culminated in the disintegration of Psquare in February 2016.

Peter and Paul went separate ways to pursue their personal ambitions and solo careers but not without promising fans that Psquare wouldn’t die, that they would always collaborate musically.

The latest attempt to bring that promise to fruition has suffered some setbacks and is fast degenerating into a major controversy.

Psquare was billed to perform in Congo at two concerts slated to hold on Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July 9 but Peter has denied endorsing the appearance.

He said his name was “maliciously and mischievously” used to promote the event, and dissociated himself from the show, which was booked by his brother/manager, Jude.

“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.”

The acrimony between Peter and Jude, and their refusal to see eye-to-eye is generally believed to be one of the factors responsible for the crisis and disbandment of Psquare.

In the disclaimer issued on his Instagram page, he further denied being sick, saying: “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 for character assassination and malicious misrepresentation.”

Meanwhile, organisers of the concert, Airtel East Africa, has claimed that Peter was informed of the concert and actively endorsed and promoted it.

Peter was accused of making outrageous demands before issuing a disclaimer distancing himself from the Congo concert.

Paul and Jude are yet to comment on the developing story.

Wizkid’s ‘Kese (Dance)’ Reclaims Top Spot on Apple Music Nigeria

Wizkid’s latest single, ‘Kese (Dance)‘ dramatically returned to the Apple Music Nigeria Top 100 chart. The song temporarily disappeared on November 18, 2024, sparking widespread speculation among fans and music enthusiasts.

Fab.ng first reported the unexpected chart removal. Despite vanishing from the Nigerian chart, ‘Dance’ maintained its position on global Top 100 lists. Remarkably, it remained the sole Nigerian and African track on international charts.

Apple Music’s chart management protocols suggest potential reasons for the temporary removal. The platform commonly investigates potential streaming manipulation. When suspicious activity emerges, they remove and then reinstate tracks after verifying stream authenticity.

Fans and industry watchers developed multiple theories. Some believed the removal resulted from technical complications. Others suspected a deeper investigation into streaming patterns. The exact mechanism remained unclear.

Within hours, ‘Kese (Dance)’ returned to its top chart position. The song demonstrated sufficient streaming strength to reclaim its previous standing. Wizkid’s continued musical dominance remained unquestionable.

The incident generated additional excitement around Wizkid’s upcoming album ‘Morayo.’ Scheduled for release on November 22, 2024, the album generates significant anticipation. Wizkid strategically shared the official tracklist, further fueling fan enthusiasm.

Music industry observers noted the incident’s potential marketing impact. The temporary chart removal inadvertently increased visibility for both the single and the upcoming album. Wizkid’s strategic music release continues to capture the audience’s attention.

The event underscores the complex dynamics of digital music platforms. Streaming charts represent more than simple popularity metrics. They reflect intricate algorithmic and investigative processes.

Wizkid continues to demonstrate his significant influence in Nigerian and global music scenes. ‘Kese (Dance)’ represents another milestone in his remarkable musical journey.

Fans remain eager to experience the full ‘Morayo’ album, anticipating another potential chart-topping release from the superstar artist.
