In a recent development surrounding the viral controversy between UK-based artist Darkoo and Nigerian music star Mr P, the latter’s team has addressed the claims made by Darkoo regarding the removal of one of her videos on YouTube.
Darkoo, who gained prominence with hits like “Gangsta,” had previously expressed frustration over the unexpected deletion of her music video from the platform. The video, which was uploaded in promotion of her latest single, was taken down for violating YouTube’s community guidelines, according to an official statement from the platform.
In a statement released earlier today, Mr P’s management team clarified their involvement in the matter. The statement reads: “We understand the frustration of any artist who experiences a sudden disruption to their content. However, Mr P’s team was not responsible for the removal of Darkoo’s video. The decision was made solely by YouTube’s automated system, which detected an issue related to copyright infringement.”
The statement further explained that while both parties have been in the public eye, the removal of the video had nothing to do with Mr P’s personal involvement in Darkoo’s work. “Mr P and Darkoo have always had a professional relationship, and there has been no interference from Mr P’s side. YouTube’s content moderation system works independently of any external parties, and their decision was based on standard protocols.”
Darkoo had previously implied that the removal was linked to a dispute over creative content, though specifics were unclear. In response to this, Mr P’s team clarified that any assumptions connecting the incident to personal or professional tensions were unfounded.
“We believe in the power of creative collaboration in the music industry, and Mr P continues to support emerging artists like Darkoo. The removal of the video was a technical issue that neither party could influence,” the statement concluded.
While the video’s removal has sparked widespread attention on social media, YouTube has yet to provide further comment on the specific nature of the content that led to the action. Meanwhile, both Darkoo and Mr P are continuing to promote their respective projects, with Darkoo having since re-uploaded her video with revisions aimed at adhering to the platform’s content guidelines.
As the situation unfolds, fans are hopeful that the misunderstanding will be cleared up, allowing for a return to peaceful collaboration in the music industry.
