Mr. P’s team denies Darkoo’s sabotage claims

Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P, of the defunct music group P-Square, has been accused of sabotage by rising music star Darkoo.

Her allegations revolve around the use of P-Square’s song “Gimme Dat” in her new project. However, Mr. P’s management, One Management, has strongly denied the claims, calling them baseless and malicious.

Last weekend, Darkoo claimed Mr. P had deliberately obstructed her musical efforts. She alleged he made unreasonable demands and created hurdles in clearing rights for her song, which sampled one of P-Square’s iconic hits. But One Management, in a statement signed by Ayo Oke, refuted these accusations.

Claims labeled unfounded

The statement suggested Darkoo’s allegations were aimed at gaining attention. “While we hesitate to assume that Darkoo and her team are deliberately sensationalizing a professional matter, it appears she is leveraging the past P-Square dispute to gain clout and popularity,” the management said.

They accused her of twisting facts and maligning Mr. P, who, they claim, had advised her to follow proper protocols from the start.

One Management clarified that Mr. P was only ensuring fairness by involving all stakeholders in the P-Square brand, rather than acting as an obstacle.

“Contrary to her claims, Mr. P wanted all parties involved in P-Square’s legacy to be carried along, not just one person,” the statement read.

Darkoo pressured Mr. P

In a surprising turn, One Management alleged that it was Darkoo, not Mr. P, who pushed for a collaboration. They revealed that she repeatedly pressured Mr. P to feature on the remix of her song, hoping to gain his support.

Despite her efforts, the project encountered challenges. According to the statement, Darkoo sought permission from an unauthorized entity, which led to complications.

These issues, they said, forced her team to return to Mr. P for assistance. “After her initial attempt failed, Darkoo and her team approached our client to resolve the problem.

Mr. P and his team acted professionally to address the matter and ensure all necessary clearances were secured,” the management explained.

Sudden public outburst

One Management expressed disappointment at Darkoo’s public outburst after the situation was resolved. They noted that when her video was initially taken down from online platforms, she privately sought Mr. P’s help. Once the video was restored, she turned to social media to accuse him of sabotage.

“It’s disheartening that Darkoo didn’t voice concerns about sabotage when the project faced issues,” the statement said. “She reached out to Mr. P for solutions, which he provided. But once the dust settled, she resorted to baseless accusations.”

Setting the record straight

The management clarified specific details about the agreement. They stated that the original clearance and split terms were proposed by an unauthorized party.

Contrary to Darkoo’s insinuations, Mr. P did not demand a personal 50% split. The changes he suggested were solely to include all stakeholders from the P-Square group.

“The only adjustments made were ensuring that the proper entity, Square Records, was involved and that all stakeholders were recognized. These modifications were standard and professional,” they stated.

Malicious claims rejected

One Management condemned her remarks as a deliberate attempt to tarnish Mr. P’s reputation. They emphasized that Mr. P has consistently operated with integrity and professionalism. The statement concluded with a call for fairness and transparency in resolving industry matters.

Final thoughts

The dispute between Mr. P and Darkoo sheds light on the challenges artists face when navigating intellectual property rights and collaborations.

While she claims have sparked controversy, One Management’s response underscores the importance of clear communication and adherence to proper processes.

As the story unfolds, fans and industry watchers will be keen to see how this saga impacts both artists and their reputations.
