We were first artistes to go on global tours, sign mega deals in dollars – PSquare

Nigerian music group, PSquare, comprising twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye have bragged that they are the pioneers of global music tours in Nigeria.

The twin Afropop stars stated that they were the first Nigerian musicians to sell out stadiums and signs multimillion-dollar deals in the music industry.

PSquare stated this during a recent episode of The 77 Podcast while fielding questions about the career and latest works.

Paul said; “Don’t forget who dominated the [music] industry for a long time. We [PSquare] held it down for nearly 13,14 years. We were there. Up there.

“In fact, we started doing traveling around the world, doing the stadiums, doing everything. People fainting, people crying. Signing multimillion dollars deals.”

On his part, Peter explained; “We were never the type of artist that looked down on anybody. If you remember, there was a video that went viral where it was P-Square concert and Wizkid was opening for us. So, they [newsmen] kept on interviewing only P-Square, and we were like, okay, guys, hold on. What about him? They said… I said no, this guy is going to take over tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, comedian, MC Warriboy recently accused the twin brothers of being self centred and unsupportive of upcoming entertainers.

He waded into the war of words which took place between Peter also known as Mr P and Seun Kuti on social media.

Warriboy urged Mr P to not disrespect late Afrobeats legend, Fela, any further as he said that PSquare that keep bragging about their wealth did not help any artiste at the peak of their career.

In a video he posted on IG, the influencer challenged the music duo to mention a singer that they helped to become a star.

He further said that money intoxicated them so much that after making big bucks s a team they decided to split and ruin all they built.

MC Warri boy finally addressed the main cause of the Peter and Seun Kuti feud, saying that Mr P should support any candidate of his choice without attacking another person for supporting someone else.
