- Darkoo has accused Mr P for sabotaging her recently released music.
- The singer took to the microblogging platform, X to explain what transpired between herself and Peter, expressing how disappointed she is.
Singer Oluwafisayo Isa better known as Darkoo has gone on the record to explain the role played by Peter Okoye alias Mr. P over what she claims were attempts to sabotage her new single.
On January 2, 2024, Darkoo released a new single titled ‘Focus On Me (All the sexy girls in the club)’.
On the vibrant single which went viral on TikTok before its release, she sampled P-Square‘s hit record ‘Gimme Dat’ off their 2009 album ‘Danger’.
The music video inspired by P-Square’s video for ‘Gimme Dat’ was released days later before it was taken down over copyright infringements.
According to Darkoo in a post on her X account on January 11, 2025, the music video was taken down by Mr. P who is one half of the legendary but defunct P-Square group.
Darkoo claimed that the 45-year-old music icon was acting out of spite because she failed to accede to his request to be featured on the single.
She said that despite promising to make him a part of the remix, Peter refused to be appeased.
In a series of posts, Darkoo claimed that she cleared the sample and even conceded 50% of the royalties to P-Square out of respect for their work and status.
The British-Nigerian star praised Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy and Jude Okoye for being supportive all through the process of clearing the sample while singling out Mr P for trying to truncate the process.
Darkoo pointed out that Mr P’s actions were unbecoming of a legend, especially one whom she grew up admiring.
She also confirmed that the music video is now back on YouTube. She wrote in part:
“I WASN’T GOING TO SAY ANYTHING, BUT MY MUSIC VIDEO WAS TAKEN DOWN FOR 6 DAYS BY PETER OF P-SQUARE IN AN ATTEMPT TO COMPLETELY SABOTAGE THE SONG.
LET ME BE CLEAR: I HAD ALL THE NECESSARY CLEARANCE FOR THE SAMPLE.
“TO PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE, THEY ARE RECEIVING 50%… RIGHTFULLY SO. YET, MR. PETER WANTED TO BE FEATURED ON THE SONG, EVEN CREATED HIS OWN NEW VERSE FOR IT. HE TOLD ME NOT TO SPEAK TO OR CLEAR WITH HIS BROTHERS JUDE & PAUL (WHO, BY THE WAY, HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY HELPFUL IN RESOLVING ISSUES). HE CLAIMED THEY WOULD BRING ‘UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS’ FOR ME.”
“BUT AS SOON AS THE SONG DROPPED, MR PETER COMPLETELY SWITCHED ON ME. HE STARTED CAUSING PROBLEMS BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE FEATURED ON THE TRACK. EVEN THOUGH , I WANTED HIM TO BE ON THE REMIX, BUT I GUESS THAT WASN’T ENOUGH. INSTEAD, HE CHOSE TO ACT OUT OF ANGER, MANIPULATE THE SITUATION, AND TRY TO SABOTAGE THE SONG… SIMPLY BECAUSE I DIDN’T BOW TO HIS DEMANDS….”
“IT’S HEARTBREAKING BECAUSE I GREW UP ADMIRING HIM, AND TO SEE SOMEONE I ONCE LOOKED UP TO ACTIVELY TRY TO HURT ME AND BLOCK MY SUCCESS IS INCREDIBLY PAINFUL.”
“THIS ISN’T HOW OUR OGs ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MOVING. IT’S SAD AND DISAPPOINTING.”
Darkoo’s latest single has garnered praise for its infectious quality and the nostalgic rush it offers.
Mr. P is yet to react to the claims by Darkoo as he again makes the news for controversial reasons with the last being the interminable dispute with his brothers Paul and Jude Okoye.
