Can we look at Mr P's "I Can't Look Away" for a few minutes? 

In other news, Mr P dropped "I Can't Look Away" on June 5, 2026, and Nigeria has not recovered.

The song is smooth, uptempo, and about a woman so captivating that Mr P cannot look away from her. Davido called it "lowkey fire" on Twitter. Mr P responded, saying,

 "Now you have made it even harder for people to look away." 

Forty thousand people retweeted it within the hour. The joke wrote itself, and Mr P delivered it perfectly.

Three thousand Nigerians have reportedly been dancing since the song dropped. Continuously. Through meals, through blackouts, through church. Their families have formed a WhatsApp group. Nobody can look away from the problem.

But the real drama is not the dancing.

It is the fans.

One faction wants a Chris Brown feature on the remix.

Their argument is simple. A song about not being able to look away needs the one man the world historically cannot look away from, for various reasons. The petition has been circulating since day three. Chris Brown has not responded. Sources say he also cannot look away from the song and has been dancing since Tuesday.

Another faction is not interested in any feature because they believe the voice on the record is not entirely Mr P.

They say AI made this song. They claim the song is only great because AI made it and that Mr P cannot make a great song on his own without his brother  Rude Boy, his twin, who looked away from P-Square some years ago. Well, Mr P has looked away from those comments and has promised to drop more songs with AI. Deal with it.

I took some time to look at the comment and noticed a lot of people were looking away.

"His real Igbo accent is gone," 

One fan wrote, and eight thousand people liked the post with the energy of people who have been personally wronged.

"I cannot look away from the fact that something is different, I love this sound" 

Another person said, which is the most passive-aggressive use of a song title in the history of music criticism.

Then there is the third faction, which is the P-Square faction, and they are the loudest of all.

These fans do not want a Chris Brown feature. They do not care about the AI accusations. They want one thing. They want Paul Okoye on this song. They want P-Square. They want the reunion that this record, in their opinion, was clearly built for.

"Mr P singing about something he cannot look away from, and why is Paul not on this track?"

 One person wrote. 

"This is emotional negligence."

"I Can't Look Away would have broken the internet if PSquare did it together," 

another fan said. 

"Instead, we are here debating robots."

"Look at your brother, call your brother," 

A third person posted, directly on Mr P's Instagram page, under a promotional post for the song, with seventeen thousand likes.

Mr P has seen all of this. Mr P has decided to look away.

He is currently on his fourth interview this week, promoting the song on every platform that will receive him, smiling, energetic, and completely unbothered by the Chris Brown requests, the AI accusations, the missing Igbo accent, and the thousands of fans who believe this song was built for his brother and released to the wrong audience.

He cannot look away from his streaming numbers.

His streaming numbers are going up.

Edgar doesn't lie.
