Peter Okoye of defunct Psquare, who is now popularly known by his solo stage name Mr P has emerged as the cover star for this week's edition of Guardian Life Magazine. In the Magazine, Mr.P absolved himself of all blames relating to the breakup of Psquare.


“It never started from me. If you feel that it is my fault, for telling you guys the truth, look at where it has brought us today. I am cool with my brothers but I don’t do (family) business anymore. It’s not healthy. If I hadn’t opened up, the fans would have seen through it all. In five years, there won’t have been any new song from P-Square; we would just be pretending and be doing shows. The only thing that kept us for the last four years was the shows; it’s not healthy, I can’t do that, I’m sorry."


"He goes on to say, “Whether we like it or not, if I hadn’t spoken up, the name P-Square would have gone completely because as of over five years ago, we weren’t ready to bring out a song.”


On whether he was under pressure after separating from his brother, Mr. P said;


"No. Everything I am doing now is the same thing I did for the group. In fact, most times, I played a director’s role, but it’s not really my thing. For the tracks, Alingo, Personally… I will tell you that I directed, costumed and choreographed those videos. The only thing I did not do was the role of the DOP. For my new video, I was with the director for 24 hours last weekend. I love things done properly.”


He called on fans to move on as he is no longer interested in family business.


“We have moved on, I have moved on, so guys please move on too. The fans have to get used to it. I still get messages from people saying we should try and make it work. We can make it out as brothers but with the (family) business, I’m done.”


Peter's first solo song titled 'cool it down' received massive airplay after it was released last month. He released another single 'For my head' on November 18 to commemorate his birthday.
