Singing twin duo and Africa's biggest music group, Psquare have gone their separate ways. Peter who broke away from the group, hinted on why he did so but never went into details.
Thenet.ng held a phone chat with Howie T and in it, Howie revealed Peter's side of the story in details, including the only condition for Psquare to reunite. Howie was the group's first ever manager after they won a Benson & Hedges talent hunt in 2001. He managed the duo from 2001 to 2005, before Jude Okoye took over as manager.
Below is what he said.....
''Well, the guys in question are adults, married with children, so I think we should respect their opinion. And the truth is, I believe they know what they are doing.
When I saw Peter's tweets, I called him and even went to see him to talk to him about it. He said Jude is the problem that he doesn't have any issue with Paul.
He told me that in a normal setting, a manager is supposed to be their employee and not the other way round, but Jude always uses his influence as their elder brother to boss over them. He also said managers collect between 15 - 25% of an artiste's income but in their case they share everything equally and he 's not happy with that sharing formula
In my opinion I think Peter is just trying to prove a valid point. He told me that he turned down a show Jude got them in Finland and when they called them for the Dubai show, he told the organizers what it takes to get Peter and Paul, what it takes to get Peter or Paul alone.
Secondly, things like this messes up an artiste's creativity, Peter is a composer, dancer and singer, when they sit down to vote on songs that'll make their album, Paul and Jude vote for more of Paul's songs than Peter's and these are the things that pisses him off.
It has gone beyond just beef now, there's a lot of ego at play
In my opinion, for peace to reign, why can't Jude just leave them alone, Peter has told me that if they change Jude today, there'll be Psquare tomorrow and sadly the only person that can talk to them is their mother and she's dead.
Well 20 children can not play together for 20 years".
