I don\u2019t hate anybody and I\u2019m not trying to make my brothers feel bad.<\/p>\n<p>I wish everybody the best. Everybody is doing well now, let\u2019s just keep it that way.<\/p>\n<p>I came out to sing alone to show people I can sing because if I hadn\u2019t done so people will keep thinking otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>My mother, if she was alive, would have said we should remain together but not do music (business) together.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m doing my best to settle with my family but they (family) are not ready. However, for the business aspect, I\u2019m done.<\/p>\n<p>Mr P also revealed he wrote the lyrics to remix of \u201cBizzy Body.\u201d A fan sang the line: \u201cPeter and Paul dem be one no be two\u201d when he said he actually wrote the song.<\/p>\n<p>Asked why he still uses the name P Square, he answered that it is impossible to tell his story without mentioning the story. He said: \u201cI\u2019m still using P Square on my social media because you can\u2019t talk about my story without mentioning P Square.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also said he can perform any of P Square\u2019s songs on stage since he contributed to making them, adding that his brother (Paul) can do so as well.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 26 updated by: 26 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 23 November 2017 Source: bellanaija.com 2017-11-23 Peter Okoye, a.k.a Mr P Peter Okoye, a.k.a Mr P, sat for an interview with Inspiration 92.3 FM to discuss going solo.
