Cynthia Morgan has defended Peter Okoye amid his emotional revelations about his long-running issues with his brothers, Jude and Paul Okoye
The singer, who was once managed by the brothers’ record label, said she could understand some of what Peter may be going through because of her own experience in the music industry.
Cynthia has previously made allegations about how she was treated during her time with the label.
Reacting to Peter’s videos , she explained that musicians often learn to put their careers ahead of their personal struggles. According to her, artistes can endure grief, abuse, pressure and emotional pain while still maintaining a strong public image.
She suggested that when an artiste eventually begins to express their emotions publicly, it may be a sign that they have reached their limit after suppressing their feelings for too long.
Cynthia also noted that fans often only see the public image created by artistes and may not know what they are privately experiencing. She particularly pointed to older artistes, saying many of their brands were built around maintaining an element of mystery.
She said:
“I read somewhere that peters emotions are destructive. Now here is my take on this and I am speaking from experience. As an artiste, most of us are conditioned to always put our craft over anything. Love, grief, abuse, pressure etc. so when you see an artiste that you think has become destructive just know the’ve maxed out and can no longer pretend and until they vent or go to therapy Dey will never be normal.
“Artistes sacrifice so much to be the people you admire… these new artistes might have it easier cause we are in an internet age and people are less judgmental. but the older ones and especially if you come from the psquare circle some of our brands were built on mystery. You think you know us but you don’t.
“The lord is close to the broken hearted @peterpsquare I wish you peace and salvation.”
