Popular Nigerian singer Flavour has said that P-Square inspired him to be a better musician. He recently shared that watching the former duo deliver an electrifying performance of their hit song “Temptation” inspired him to strive to be better.
Speaking during a podcast appearance, Flavour disclosed that he also performed at the event, but the twin brothers took their own performance to the next level.
According to him, the experience inspired him to transition from being just a “music man” to creating his own unique sound.
The musician revealed that watching P-Square simply made him realize the difference between playing covers and recording original music.
The “Oyi” crooner confirmed that the encounter triggered his decision to pursue his artistic growth and develop his unique style of music.

“I was playing and immediately P-Square came in, the manager said ‘Hello, get off that thing!’ I switched off and passed the microphone, went somewhere and sat down. Girls were saying ‘wow wow wow’ and Paul of P-Square took the microphone with his voice and just sang ‘This na temptation’, everywhere scattered.
So I was like ‘na the same music these people dey do, me dey here with una, una shout like this for me’. I was so cold, I was just watching, they did their thing. When they left, the manager turned and said ‘oya!’ then it started to occur to me that these guys, the difference is they create their own music, they make a sound and go to the studio and record and that’s how it’s done, and you are just a music man,” he said.
He further noted that the journey to develop his distinct style wasn’t easy, but the switch needed to happen.
Flavour concluded by urging artists to work on their craft enough until they start releasing music that stands out from the crowd.
“So, how do I switch from music man to an artist? That was the difficult part of it, and I thought it was going to be easy because I could play, I could sing…but now to create your own sound, where are you going to start from?” he added.
