He has been nominated by the International Achievement Recognition Awards (IARA) in two categories, in the “Best male” and “Best international male artiste” 2018 category.
Like many artistes, he made it knownvia instagram either to solicit for votes that will help him walk away with awards, or as some are insinuating to mock his brother. He captioned the post,
"INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT RECOGNITION AWARDS. Shout out to my Loyal Fans😇🙏🏽This one is for you😊 My first ever award nomination. Not one but two! It can only get better and better. @iara_awards I’m truly honoured and congrats to other nominees y’all are incredible 😊🤗. 1 Luv #NeverBeAfraidToStartOverAgain#MoreFocused#EnjoyingEveryPartOfIt"
Some fans weren't here for him due to the caption and made sure to let him know. But we are wondering which part of the caption indicates he was mocking his brother in any way.
One follower commented with,
"Dey fool urself. Rudeboy better pass u musically by far... I'm very sure dat it is mr p's wife dat organised dis unknown awards 😀"
Followed by another who wrote,
"Dis award is an organized award by dem abeg wetin baba sing to qualify for any int norms? hahaha even tekno even slimcase deserve dt spot😂🤣..cuz his song cross over than mr P...wah song did mr P sing self🤣🤣😂"
One person, most definitely a true fan of his, came to his defense, replying them with;
"O my God please where is all my haters @peterpsquare you are my mentor go up come down,the said nothing good will come out of you but you are providing them wrong. 🙏🙏🙏💪🔥🔥🔥💰💯💯💯💯"
It would be recalled duo had a very public and violent falling out that took us all by surprise, yet still we had hope since it wasn't the first for the duo. But after a video of the fight leakedFor real though, has it come to this, we as fans should rather root for them to either resolve their issues and work as a duo again or to leave peacefully since they are still family.
Both are doing quite well in their solo careers. Rudeboy's single "fire fire" is now a hit and there's no wedding that the song is not played. While Mr P's is ‘Ebeano' Crooner’ obviously doing well if its being nominated.
He's competing against Ghana's Micheal Dappah, Davido, George Ezra, Ihab Amir, Bread Boi, Louis Tomilson, Sheku Kanneh-Mason in the “Best international male artist” category.
And for the ‘Best male artist” category, he will be going against Davido, Diamond Platnumz, Cassper Nyovest, Medikal, Black Coffee, La Fouine and Mohammed Abass.
We must admit, he's competing against some of the best artistes in Africa and beyond but hey. If he doesn't win, at least his solo career is being recognised.
All the best to him and the other African artistes.
The award ceremony is slated to be held on the 22nd of September at Hilton Hotel London.
