Nigerian musician Peter Okoye, better known as Mr P, has continued to defend his decision to change his birthday from his twin, Paul Okoye, also known as RudeBoy
Recall that The Nigerian Voice reported that Mr P, in a trending post on the popular microblogging platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), announced that his birthday is no longer on November 18, maintaining that he will not accept any messages or gifts on that day.
According to him, the new birthday has now been changed to November 30th, describing it as a personal decisi.on.
Following the numerous criticisms and backlash that trailed his announcement, Mr P, via his X handle wondered the reason behind the outrage, noting how it was his date of birth he changed and not theirs. He further slammed them for crying more than the bereaved, knocking them for focusing on him, despite the numerous problems facing Nigeria.
In a new post on his X handle, Peter Okoye shed more update on his decision, pointing out that his brothers never considered "blood" while stealing from him, in addition to creating false narratives around him.
He stressed that the case is still in court, maintaining that forgiveness does not equate to accessibility.
Mr P further warned against involving women in their beef, emphasizing that their beef has nothing to do with the women in their lives.
He also added that he is strictly working on protecting his peace, noting how critics are only concerned because the PSquare group is no more, however, he is only focused on setting boundaries.
Paul Okoye wrote in a series on tweets on X: "We were not ‘blood’ when they were stealing from me.
We were not “blood” when they were creating false narratives about me.
Now that I’ve uncovered the betrayal that’s been going on for over 20 years, suddenly we’re blood?
No… it doesn’t work like that. We are still in court! Forgiveness doesn’t mean Accessibility. Again! Una go dey alright."
“Before you drag any woman” into this! No woman directed or advised anyone to steal from what I worked for over the years.
Stop pushing that narrative to suit your agenda. None of us was even married 20-something years ago when this whole betrayal and stealing started!
I said what I said." “Even if my parents were alive and supported this kind of betrayal, I’d still choose to step back, cut them off and protect my peace. Boundaries are necessary! blood isn’t thicker than my peace of mind."
“They’re only emotional because the group is no more. Yes, I’m 40+, and I’ve earned the right to protect my peace over toxic family members who betrayed and disrespected me. Now I’m glad that I’ve set boundaries for my sanity! No apologies. Love me or hate me! I do not give a F$ck.
One of the biggest lies ever told is that blood makes you family. Blood
makes you related. Loyalty, love, and trust make you family. @DONflexx is true family. Take it to the bank.
Yes, it’s painful. And yes, it’s my loss. But no one should keep reminding me that I was betrayed and used by my own blood for over 20 years +. They can laugh at me now! but I’ll come out stronger."
