Do you know that at a point during the conflict between Peter, Paul and Jude, Paul told Peter something that Since he was always saying that his songs are not being accepted and that it is only Paul’s songs Jude takes, let them do it this way; For example,... if P-Square wanted to release a 10-song album, Peter should contribute five songs and Paul also contribute five songs. Peter would write, compose and produce his five songs himself, and Paul would do the same with his. If Peter wanted Paul to feature on any of his songs, he could invite him. If Paul wanted Peter on any of his songs, he could also invite him. Either of them could also feature other artistes on their individual tracks. The songs would then be compiled and released as a P-Square album, keeping the brand intact. Their performances would also remain joint. If Peter got a show, he could call Paul, they perform together and share proceeds 50/50. If Paul got a show, same arrangement which is they perform together and share 50/50. Then comes the most important part which is about royalties. Each person would retain the copyright and royalties for the songs they individually created. So if Peter wrote and produced five songs, he earns the royalties from those five songs. If Paul wrote and produced five songs, he earns the royalties from his own. In other words, Peter would have the opportunity to create his own songs, produce them, release them under the P-Square brand, perform them as P-Square, and still earn directly from his work. Yet, according to Jude, Peter refused this arrangement. Now let me understand something. This is the same person who said he was being sidelined. The same person who complained that his songs were being rejected. Now you are being offered a structure where you can create your own songs, control your own production, choose your own features, release under the P-Square brand, perform as P-Square, and still keep your royalties. And you still say no? Why? What exactly was the problem with that arrangement?show more
