Darkoo claimed in a string of tweets on X that she had gotten Psquare’s approval for the sample that was used in her song.
According to the rapper, 50% of the song’s profits should go to Psquare. But according to her, Peter insisted on being on the song, which she first turned down but thought about for a potential remix.
After she declined to include Mr. P in the song, Darkoo said he then enabled the copyright violation that was identified on the YouTube music video.

“I wasn’t going to say anything, but Peter of P-square took down my music video for six days in an attempt to completely sabotage the song. (Fortunately, the video is back up noThis is the video: https://youtu.be/4wj0nhz_6t0?si=-75ujqiue4_z-ysl. Let me be clear: I had all the necessary clearance for the sample. This is not my first rodeo using a sample, as you know, and I did everything by the book,” the tweet reads.
“To put things into perspective, they are receiving 50%… rightfully so. Yet, Mr. Peter wanted to be featured on the song, even creating his own new verse for it. He told me not to speak to or clear with his brothers Jude and Paul (who, by the way, have been incredibly helpful in resolving issues). He claimed they would bring ‘unnecessary problems’ for me.
“But as soon as the song dropped, Mr. Peter completely switched on me. He started causing problems because he wanted to be featured on the track. Even though I wanted him to be on the remix, I guess that wasn’t enough. Instead, he chose to act out of anger, manipulate the situation, and try to sabotage the song… simply because I didn’t bow to his demands….
“Taking my video down wasn’t about copyright or contracts…. It was because he didn’t get what he wanted (to be featured), & I quote saying to my team that I “disrespected him” that’s why he’s taking down the video.”
As the post gained traction, social media users flooded the comment section with mixed reactions, sharing their thoughts on the dramatic turn of events.

@iveinzell: 50% and neega still wants more, madness.
@justkency: This is good PR. The video was taken down but now back up. Una dey try.
@weneØ84: You had clearance for the sample of the sound recording but you “sampled” the idea of one of their videos of an entirely different song. If that makes any sense to you then you also need to get clearance for the video, unless all this was staged for clout.
