Rising artist Darkoo recently accused Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, of sabotaging her music video, Focus on Me, by having it removed from YouTube. The British-Nigerian singer claimed on social media that Mr P demanded to be featured on the track, which samples P-Square’s 2009 hit Gimme Dat.
According to Darkoo, despite obtaining proper clearance for the sample, Mr P allegedly took drastic steps when she refused his request.
In response, Mr P’s management team, One Management, issued a statement on 13 January, dismissing Darkoo’s claims as “opportunistic” and “malicious.” Signed by Ayo Oke, the statement accused Darkoo of leveraging the controversy to promote her music.
