Dear Team P, we are not in a competition with anyone, so please ignore those trolls from the other-side coming to my page to troll at us that we have lower views on YouTube!

In his X post, Peter Psquare directly addresses the trolls from “the other side” who have been comparing YouTube views to undermine his work. He firmly states, “Dear Team P, we are not in a competition with anyone,” urging his fans to ignore the negativity. Peter highlights the difference between inflated metrics and genuine engagement, pointing out that while others might boast 20 million views with minimal interaction (e.g., 2k comments and 20k likes), his “ODO” video has garnered 1.2 million views with a more engaged audience—nearly 5k comments and over 50k likes.

These achievements reflect Peter Psquare’s continued relevance in the African music scene, a legacy built over decades as part of the iconic duo P-Square, which has been celebrated for its cultural impact by outlets like Forbes and New African magazine. The post also includes a link to the “ODO” video, encouraging fans to keep streaming while maintaining the hashtag #NoCompetitionJustEnjoyTheMusic. This message aligns with Peter Psquare’s broader philosophy of focusing on the art rather than engaging in rivalry, though some fans in the replies express mixed sentiments.
For instance, @BlazeEbuka cautions Peter against throwing jabs that could fuel tensions with his twin brother Paul Okoye, while @Iam_chukwuebuka advises him to “resist the urge to shalaye” (explain too much) and let the work speak for itself. Others, like @DrayLord6582, offer unwavering support, affirming their love for his music. The context of P-Square’s journey adds depth to this moment. As noted in a Wikipedia entry, P-Square, composed of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, has been a dominant force in African music since the 2000s, known for their energetic sound and innovative music videos.
However, their publicized split has led to solo endeavors, with fans often pitting the brothers against each other—a dynamic Peter seems to be navigating in this post. Despite the challenges, his focus on organic growth and fan engagement signals a mature approach to sustaining his career.
