I want to be in charge of myself – Mr P Speaks on Debut Album
Nigerian artiste, Peter Okoye AKA Mr P has spoken about his soon to be released debut album, The Prodigal.
The former member of the defunct music group, Psquare, in a chat with DJ Edu on This is Africa, disclosed that his new album will give him the chance to express and be in charge of himself.
Mr P further stated that this will avail the people the opportunity to know his own sound.
In his words, “This is more like me trying to express myself, my creativity. I want to be in charge of myself, I want to get things done. Getting the opportunity for people to know my own sound. My music is not like every song you must play them in the club.”
Reacting to claims from some people that government paid him to claim he had COVID-19, Mr P said “People said the government have paid me to claim that I have COVID-19. Somebody said a comment that really hurt me, [that] I should have died so they would know truly, that I actually caught it. I was like, wow. It’s sad that over here people are still doubting COVID-19 is real.”
He continued, “I had one of the worst moments with my family. I caught it, my wife caught it, my daughter… all my domestic staff. I’m in the guest room, I’m talking to my family on the phone. That’s how we communicated for three weeks.”
The Prodigal features a stellar line up of collaborations Tiwa Savage, Simi, Teni, Wande Coal, Tamar Braxton, Singah, Mohombi, DJ Switch, and OvieKelz. h
