Speaking in a recent video he made online, Mr P disclosed that he wants to strictly focus on his career and does not want any distractions.
He emphasised that he is unique and urged fans to allow him to be himself.
“Stop comparing me with my brother or anyone else. Enough of the comparisons. I want to do me. There is no one like me. I want to do my thing and chop my money,” he said.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Mr P revealed that P-Square's reunion with his twin brother, Rudeboy, allegedly slowed down his growth on social media.
In a recent interview, Mr P explained that before the reunion, his online presence was booming, with his accounts gaining up to 100,000 new followers daily.
At the time, he ranked among the top Nigerian entertainers in terms of influence and engagement, closely tracking the likes of Davido and Don Jazzy.
However, he noted that things changed drastically after the P-Square comeback.
His follower growth dropped, and he speculated that the reunion might have been the reason, though he admitted he wasn’t entirely sure.
He said:
“If I do my calculations, I used to have 100k followers daily back then. After Davido, it was me & Don Jazzy leading in followers. My followers stopped growing after the reunion with my twin brother.”

"People will always compare them": Badassirudeen Abu, a social commentator
Badassirudeen Submittulahi ibn Abu, a social commentator, advised Peter Okoye on what to expect from audiences given their shared history in P-Square.
"People will naturally compare the two of them. Femi Kuti is compared against Fela Kuti. All the Jackson singers against Michael. Damien against Bob Marley. It's the most natural thing in the world. If he carves a path for himself and becomes successful in his own right as he wishes, it still won't stop the comparisons. But it won't rankle him that much."
