In an interview aired on *The Nancy Isime Show*, P-Square member Peter Okoye revealed that he does not fear death, but remains deeply terrified of returning to poverty. The singer opened up about his early upbringing, recounting how his family of ten lived in a crowded one-bedroom apartment before facing eviction.
Okoye described the moment a bulldozer demolished their residence after the property was sold, calling the experience a defining hardship that reshaped his view on financial security. He emphasized that those early trials continue to drive his work ethic today.
Covering the broadcast, *Daily Post Nigeria* published that Okoye remarked, “The only thing I’m afraid of in this life is poverty. It is being broke”. Meanwhile, *Matrix News* reported via its online platform that “Peter disclosed this during an interview on the Nancy Isime Show on Monday, where he reflected on his childhood”.
**Echotitbits take:** Candid conversations around financial trauma from top-tier African music veterans humanize celebrity success and resonate deeply with younger fans navigating economic hardship. Expect Okoye’s comments to spark wider online dialogue about resilience, wealth building, and career longevity in the music industry.
