Cynthia Morgan backs Peter Okoye, says artistes often suffer in silence

Singer Cynthia Morgan has voiced her support for Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, amidst his public feud with his brother, Jude Okoye. Morgan shared her perspective on Instagram, responding to comments that described Peter's emotional expressions as "destructive."

“

I read somewhere that Peter’s emotions are destructive. Now here is my take on this and I am speaking from experience

Morgan, speaking from her own experience, explained that artists are often conditioned to prioritize their careers above personal well-being. This conditioning leads them to suppress emotions related to love, grief, abuse, and pressure. "As an artiste, most of us are conditioned to always put our craft over anything," she wrote. "So when you see an artiste that you think has become destructive, just know they’ve maxed out and can no longer pretend."

As an artiste, most of us are conditioned to always put our craft over anything. Love, grief, abuse, pressure etc. So when you see an artiste that you think has become destructive, just know they’ve maxed out and can no longer pretend, and until they vent or go to therapy, they will never be normal

She emphasized the immense sacrifices entertainers make to build public admiration. Morgan noted that older artists, particularly those from groups like P-Square, faced greater pressure because their brands were often built on mystery. "You think you know us, but you don’t," she stated, contrasting this with the perceived easier path for newer artists in the internet age.

“

Artistes sacrifice so much to be the people you admire… These new artistes might have it easier because we are in an internet age and people are less judgmental, but the older ones, and especially if you come from the P-Square circle, some of our brands were built on mystery. You think you know us, but you don’t

Morgan's comments come amid the renewed public dispute between Peter Okoye and his former manager and elder brother, Jude Okoye. The brothers have exchanged allegations regarding the management of their past group, P-Square, and other long-standing family issues. Morgan concluded her post with a prayer for Peter, wishing him "peace and salvation."

The Lord is close to the broken-hearted #peterpsquare. I wish you peace and salvation.
