Artist, Peter Okoye, aka Mr P, has stated performers are like goats people normally employ in celebrating the festival holidays.

The hyperactive artist and dancer made the comment at the premiere of ‘Battle on Buka Street,’ an anticipated comedy-drama movie by Funke Akindele.

Asked how he meant to spend the Christmas season, Mr P said it was a money-making moment for artists, adding that they only went for concerts and events and seldom had time for family.

He said, “We (entertainers) are the goats used in celebrating Christmas. We go to concerts and shows and don’t have time to celebrate Christmas. Do you want me to tell you that I am going to travel with my family? No now, it is a money-making period.”

Expressing that he was not a fan of red carpet, Mr P said he graced the occasion to show support for Funke Akindele, adding that questions surrounding the reconciliation with his twin brother, Paul, aka Rude Boy, was old news.

Asked about the three things people don’t know about him, Mr P said, “One, don’t ever catch me eating. I am a fast eater and I can finish my meal in three minutes. Two, I do not eat fish at all. And lastly, I have a habit of filing my nails.”
