Singer Peter Okoye says he is enjoying life as a solo artiste

A 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 when he was with his twin brother, Paul Okoye (Rude Boy).

In a recent chat with HipTV, Mr. P, said he no longer has to split his earnings three ways. He enjoys his freedom now, he added.

“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.
