Darkoo said that Mr. P had taken the Focus On Me video down from YouTube for six days over the weekend.

However, Mr. P emphasized what happened in a statement released by One Management, the veteran artist's management organization.

The entertainment company One Management, which oversees Peter Okoye's (also known as Mr. P's) music company, has firmly reacted to the accusations made by emerging star Darkoo.

After criticizing Mr. P of Psquare, British-Nigerian rapper and artist Darkoo—real name Oluwafisayo Isa—created a stir on social platform X, formerly Twitter.

Darkoo asserted that one of the Psquare members, Mr. P, tried to undermine her recently released smash record, Focus On Me, which featured a sample of the twins' well-known song, "Gimme Dat."

Standing her own, Darkoo revealed how she got in touch with Psquare and asked for their approval to release the song.

What Mr. P did was make sure that everyone, not just one, was included in the disbanded Psquare club. But Darkoo asked an unauthorized entity for permission rights, which led to the project's demise. The music company added that she and her team sought help from Mr. P and his employees when she ran into problems on YouTube. After that, they took the appropriate action, and everything was resolved.

In its letter, the explanation read in part: "Darkoo approached our client to assist in clearing her song, which sampled one of P-Square's hit songs, 'Gimme Dat,' after recording and putting the song on social media claiming it was 'gaining traction on Tiktok'.

"Based on the current dynamic of P-Square", Darkoo was told to get clearance to use the sample through the proper channel to avoid any misleading assumptions on her part and to avert any IP landmines. "Darkoo mentioned that her team was handling it and had reached out to Northside Entertainment. Our client promptly informed her that Northside is not the proper channel and it would be best to have her team reach out to his management, who would put her in touch with the current administrators of P-Square's catalogue and ensure that all stakeholders are aware of this development."

The letter said that Darkoo's outburst was malicious and a deliberate attempt to cast Mr. P in a bad light, and that the person Darkoo first approached requested the first 50% (revenue from the song) split, not Mr. P.
