Darkoo, standing her ground, shared how she contacted Psquare and requested permission to put out the song.
In a lengthy to Henzodaily.ng, management maintained that all Mr P did was ensure that all parties involved in the dissolved P-Square group were carried along rather than just one. However, Darkoo sought permission rights from an unapproved party, resulting in the project’s failure.
The music firm also stated that when she encountered difficulties on YouTube, she and her team turned to Mr P and his staff for assistance. Following this, they proceeded to do what was necessary, and all dust settled.
In its letter, the explanation read in part: “Darkoo approached our client to assist in clearing her song, which sampled one of P-Square’s hit songs, ‘Gimme Dat,’ after recording and putting the song on social media claiming it was ‘gaining traction on Tiktok’.

The statement added that: “Based on the current dynamic of P-Square”, Darkoo was told to get clearance to use the sample through the proper channel to avoid any misleading assumptions on her part and to avert any IP landmines.
It continued, “Darkoo mentioned that her team was handling it and had reached out to Northside Entertainment. Our client promptly informed her that Northside is not the proper channel and it would be best to have her team reach out to his management, who would put her in touch with the current administrators of P-Square’s catalogue and ensure that all stakeholders are aware of this development.”
The letter rounded by stating that the first 50% (income from the song) split was sought by the individual Darkoo initially approached, not by Mr P and that her (Darkoo’s) outburst was malicious and a purposeful attempt to paint him (Mr P) in a negative light.
