Peter Okoye is not happy with the way people perceive him as a dancer and a talkative. One of the P-Square brothers of Peter and Paul now known as Mr P said it hurts that people look at him and see him as a mere dancer when he was actually the creative one in P-Square.

He made this emotional statement to HipTv saying; “During P-Square, I was the one doing the whole structure, trying to get things properly done. I have been a creative person and I haven’t stopped. I am a very creative person but people still look at me as a dancer. It hurts but at the end of the day I still remain a creative person.”

He emphasized on his going solo when he said: “Now that I’m on my own, I will do what I have always wanted. I was limited before but now I’m good.”

Peter was the first person that came out with the true situation of P-Square but he believed people see him as being a talkative. He said: “People believe I talk too much but I tell them the truth. If I do not, you guys will never know the truth. Whether they like it or not I still remain the guy that will always tell them the truth.”

Tiwa Savage and hubby Tee Billz could soon be back in each other’s arms.

R&B singer Banky W is out to help the couple reconcile after their messy social media fight that revealed the messy fight in the marriage and eventually made the couple go their separate ways.

Banky W also known as Mr Capable is helping the estranged couple sort out their marital issues and get back together.

The singer who was Tee Billz’s best man during their wedding revealed this in an interview recently.

He was quoted: “I haven’t commented on the Tiwa and Teebillz situation because I think that some things are better worked out behind closed doors. One of my problems with the world is that we comment too much. I am a strong believer in not letting the world see or discuss your dirty laundry.”

“I believe in keeping it within the family or behind closed doors and trying to do the best job that you can. I am not going to change my stance on Tiwa and Teejay. I will say that I love both of them dearly and as a friend all I am trying to do is be there for them, trying to help them work through the issues that they have. I wish them all the best,” he added.
