According to a report by Pulse Nigeria, Afrobeats singer Peter Okoye, widely known as Mr P, has publicly broken his silence regarding the recent fallout with his twin brother and former bandmate Paul Okoye (Rudeboy). He described the group’s 2021 reunion as disingenuous and claimed that underlying tensions were never truly resolved before they parted ways again.
Mr P also issued an apology regarding earlier comments about Nigerian local languages, clarifying that his statements were misinterpreted while accusing his brother of capitalizing on the social media outrage for publicity.
Daily Post Nigeria reported on the escalating feud, quoting Mr P as stating, “I never wanted the group back,” during his explanation of the events leading to the duo’s second breakup. Furthermore, GistReel highlighted the ongoing rift between the twin brothers, noting that Rudeboy countered by asserting, “I am nobody without Nigerian culture,” in response to the linguistic controversy.
Echotitbits take:
This latest public back-and-forth highlights the deep-seated rift that continues to hinder any long-term musical collaboration between the legendary duo. For Afrobeats fans, it signals that a P-Square reunion is off the table for the foreseeable future, as both artists focus on establishing distinct solo brands amidst personal friction.
