The music industry just got hit with another wave of drama, and this time, it’s a showdown between Nigerian-British rapper Darkoo and Peter Okoye, aka Mr. P of the iconic P-Square duo. Darkoo isn’t holding back as she calls out Mr. P for allegedly trying to sabotage her newly released song Focus on Me. The twist? It’s all over a denied feature request.
In a series of spicy tweets that set social media ablaze, Darkoo revealed that despite securing all the necessary clearances for the sample used in her track and offering P-Square a generous 50% of the song’s earnings, Peter still wasn’t satisfied. According to her, Mr. P wanted to be featured on the track and even recorded his own verse. While Darkoo declined his request for the original version, she says she kept the remix option open—clearly, that wasn’t enough for the veteran artist.
Darkoo claimed that after she refused to feature him, Mr. P allegedly had her music video taken down from YouTube for six long days, leaving fans and her hard work in limbo. “This wasn’t about contracts or copyright,” she tweeted. “It was because he didn’t get what he wanted… He said I disrespected him.”
The rapper didn’t stop there. She accused Mr. P of stirring the pot, telling her not to involve his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye, in the clearance process, claiming they’d bring “unnecessary problems.” However, Darkoo praised Paul and Jude for stepping up and helping resolve the mess, calling them “incredibly helpful.”
Clearly hurt by the ordeal, Darkoo poured her emotions into her tweets, sharing how much she once admired Peter Okoye as a music icon. “This isn’t how our OGs are supposed to be moving,” she wrote. “It’s heartbreaking to see someone I looked up to actively try to hurt me and block my success.”
Thankfully, the music video is back online, and Darkoo’s fans are rallying around her. She urged them to stream and share the video, not just to support her music but to reclaim the momentum lost during those six days.
As of now, Mr. P has kept quiet about the allegations, leaving fans eagerly waiting for his side of the story. Will he clear the air, or is this beef going to simmer a little longer? One thing’s for sure: Darkoo isn’t backing down, and her star power is only rising.
