One half of defunct music group PSquare, Peter Okoye, now known as Mr P, has declared that he makes more money now as a solo act than before when he was with his twin brother, Paul Okoye (Rude Boy).
Mr. P, made the revelation during a recent chat with HipTV. According to him, he no longer has to split his earnings three ways. He said he enjoys his freedom now.
“Hundred percent, I am. I don’t have to share three ways. Call it greed or selfishness. It’s your own cup of tea. I share with nobody. Yes, my management and my team. Fine. But I’m doing my own thing. I’m freer.
I’m making more money. Freedom is key. I can get a call that there’s a show next week and it’s my daughter’s birthday. I can say, ‘cancel it’. As a group, I couldn’t do that. Moneywise, if I used to share three ways, I share alone.
What am I doing music for? It’s about doing it how I feel it. It’s not even about the money. But when it comes to that, I make more than I was while in the group” he said.
