- Mr P claps back at critics, says if he wants, he could purchase as many as 20 million fake YouTube views within hours

- He calls on his fans, known as Team P, to remain focused and ignore those trying to stir unnecessary competition
Popular Nigerian singer and one-half of the legendary PSquare duo, Peter Okoye aka Mr P, has fired back at critics who tried to downplay the success of his latest single, ODO, based on its YouTube views.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the singer addressed some trolls who stormed his page, mocking his YouTube stats and comparing them to other artists.
Mr P, however, made it clear that he is not in any competition with anyone and values authentic support over inflated numbers.

In the now-viral tweet, Mr P wrote:
“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! I can always have 20 million fake views within some hours if I want to. But let’s focus and continue with our organic views rather than farming.”
“Having 2 million views with not up to 2k comments and just 20k likes, while we have 1.2 million views with nearly over 5k comments and nearly over 50k likes! If you know, you know!”
The singer ended his message by thanking fans and reminding them that ODO is climbing steadily. “We’re getting there. Thanks so much. ODO,” he concluded.
