Following the endorsement of Peter Okoye, one half of P-Square as brand ambassador of Olympic milk by Nutricima, speculation has been rife on social media that the Okoye twins may be heading for another fall-out. As a matter of fact, a number of blogs have gone ahed to speculate that Peter is set to launch his solo career, hence his decision to sign the deal without Paul.
The speculation, centred around the fact that the twins make up the Psquare brand and none of the two had signed any endorsement deal individually, just as they always perform together except when it is absolutely impossible to, has gained some currency over the last few days.
With many of their fans wondering what exactly is going on, Peter Okoye has come out to address the issue, denying any issue with his twin brother, Paul.
Speaking at his unveiling as the brand ambassador of the product, Peter said: ‘Music is like football. For example, if I play for Barcelona and I get endorsed by Nike, it doesn’t mean the whole Barcelona team has been endorsed. This is about me and not me and Paul. Among thousands or perhaps millions of people in the entertainment industry, I felt honoured to be chosen as the brand ambassador. The deal means a lot, not just to me but also to my fans. If a brand isn’t worth it I have nothing to do with such a brand. The fact that I am ready to work with this brand is an indication of its top quality.’
Although many would feel the matter has not been adequately addressed, that is all Peter had to say.
