Singer Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, has shared a powerful reminder about self-respect and knowing your value.

The artist spoke up after a fan commented on a past criticism that labelled him as just a dancer, not a good singer. This remark came under a video Peter posted of himself singing in a studio.

The fan pointed out how wrong those old opinions were, writing that people used to say Peter couldn’t sing and was only good at dancing — yet now, he sings better than many.

Peter responded by saying it’s unfortunate that so many people believed the lie. He used the moment to encourage others to understand their worth. He urged everyone never to stay in places where they aren’t valued or respected.

His final words were simple but strong: if your efforts aren’t appreciated, respect yourself enough to walk away.
