One of the most sensational pop groups out of Nigeria, P-Square, made up of twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, has buried the hatchet between them and is back on good terms.
Recall that the group broke up in 2017 after over a decade of being together and releasing several hits such as ‘Chop my Money’, ‘Alingo’, ‘Personally’, ‘Temptation’ and ‘Beautiful Onyinye’.
In an interview with Saturday Beats in January 2021, Paul had stated that the issues that led to the breakup of the group had been around for a long time before they eventually went their separate ways. According to him, Peter was not comfortable working with certain people and he wanted the group to do away with them but Paul felt otherwise.
In 2016, Peter had taken to his Twitter page to announce that the group had sacked their elder brother, Jude, as their manager. He wrote, “Please, who so ever makes (sic) any transaction with Northside Entertainment or Jude Okoye on Psquare’s behalf does so at their own risk. #warning,”
He wrote in other tweets, “I have regretted a lot of things in my life. But, trust me, this is not one of them. #NoMoreFamilyBusiness.”
“Been nurturing and managing these problems for over four years now. Don’t take my silence as a weakness. #Done.”
Both brothers went on to have solo careers with Paul going by the name, ‘Rudeboy’, and Peter adopting the name, ‘Mr P’. Some of Rudeboy’s solo songs are ‘Ayoyo’, ‘Reason With Me’ and ‘Woman’. On the other hand, Mr P released his debut solo album, ‘The Prodigal’ in April 2021 and it contained songs such as ‘Just Like That’, ‘Follow my Lead’, ‘Paloma’ and ‘Smooth Criminal’.
