“I have no regret being independent” – Mr P speaks on life after Psquare
Peter Okoye, Nigerian singer better known as Mr P, says he has no regret leaving the Psquare team he once shared with Paul Okoye, his twin brother, to pursue a solo career.
Mr P, who said this while speaking with Cool FM, added that going solo provided him ample time to invest in multiple businesses without giving up his relevance in the music space. “Being independent at the moment comes with a lot of impacts…I am opportuned to do a lot of things right now. Apart from being a musician, I am into real estate. I have launched my lottery platform. It is called zoom. It came out two months ago. Every month I give out two million naira to four individuals,” the singer said.
The award-winning musician, who revealed that he has a clothing line and a beverage factory in the pipeline, also said as a solo artist, he now spends more time with his family. “I can decide when not to travel or go do anything and enjoy my family time. Not the one that my kids would go on family holidays and I can’t go because when I am going, they’ll say we have a show. Now I can decide,” he said. “Am doing a lot for myself now and I have no regret about it.” The 37-year-old gifted singer recently released the visual for his latest single ‘One More Night’ where he teamed up with Niniola, Afro-house artiste.
Speaking on the collaboration, Mr P noted that he wrote the song back when he was still performing with his brother as Psquare.
He added that his decision to bring the Afro-House singer into the mix springs from the need to maintain his originality, and create an exciting yet fresh music piece. “One More Night is older than every other song I have released. I did this song back in PSquare… I more like an R and B person, but the second verse of the song has a bit more of the Fuji. So I said, Peter if you want to start out this, be you. Because leaving the group and doing the same thing is a no! I wanted to cave out myself even if it doesn’t work out,” he said. “At the moment, I have spent almost 20 years doing things for the people, now start doing it for yourself.

“Don’t Be Deceived by Twitter Polls or Social Media Hype” – Burna Boy Advises Fellow Artists
Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has offered some candid advice to fellow musicians, urging them not to get carried away by online popularity.
In a message shared via his Instagram Stories, Burna warned artists not to be fooled by Twitter polls or the support of Nigerian social media fans, pointing out that this virtual applause rarely translates into real-world success—especially when it comes to filling stadiums around the globe.
He emphasized that achieving a number one spot on streaming platforms in Nigeria shouldn’t be seen as the pinnacle of success. Instead, he encouraged artists to set bigger goals or consider having alternative business ventures.
His post read:
> “Dear artists,
Don’t let Twitter polls and Naija social media fans deceive you. They won’t fill up any stadium for you in any part of the world.
Your song being Number 1 on any streaming platform in Nigeria is not something to celebrate. Aim higher or do other businesses on the side. I type with love. No sign of aw.”
In a similar vein, singer Spyro also had a message for upcoming acts. He advised that signing to a major label or linking up with a top artist is no guarantee of success. According to Spyro, having a “failure mentality”—where one expects everything to be handed to them—will only lead to amplified failure, no matter how big the platform.
He stressed the importance of diligence and hard work, stating that talent alone isn’t enough. Spyro urged emerging artists to stop chasing fantasies and start putting in real effort to build their careers.
