British-Nigerian artist Darkoo has spoken out against Peter Okoye of P-Square, alleging that he had her music video taken down from YouTube for six days due to his unreasonable requests
Darkoo’s song, “Focus on Me,” samples P-Square’s 2009 hit “Gimme Dat,” for which she claims to have obtained the necessary clearances and agreed to give the duo 50% royalties.
However, Darkoo alleges that Peter Okoye made additional demands, including a feature on the song, despite her initial willingness to feature him in the remix. According to Darkoo, Peter Okoye’s behavior was in stark contrast to that of his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye, who were civil and professional in their dealings with her.
Darkoo expressed her disappointment and hurt on social media, stating that Peter Okoye’s actions were “heartbreaking” and “incredibly painful,” given her admiration for him as an artist.
