The singer made the surprising declaration on Monday afternoon through his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, where he posted a short message that read: “I am officially changing my birthday date.”
Mr P did not provide any reason or additional details behind the decision as of the time this report was filed, leaving fans and social media users to speculate about what may have inspired the announcement.
Peter Okoye became a household name as one half of the iconic music duo P-Square, which he formed with his twin brother, Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy. The duo dominated the African music scene throughout the 2000s and early 2010s with multiple hit songs and award-winning projects.
However, the group’s success was eventually overshadowed by internal conflicts. Their first major fallout became public around 2015, with reports pointing to disagreements over management and business affairs involving their elder brother, Jude Okoye, who oversaw the group’s operations.
Tensions reportedly grew over issues such as royalties, financial control, and family involvement, ultimately leading to the group’s split in 2017. Both brothers went on to pursue solo careers, adopting the stage names Mr P and Rudeboy.
In November 2021, the twin brothers reconciled, reuniting to the excitement of fans across the continent. The reunion led to public appearances, performances, and the release of new music, though their comeback did not fully match the commercial dominance they once enjoyed.
Despite their reconciliation, reports later suggested that unresolved issues resurfaced, including concerns over financial transparency, royalty distribution, and business structures tied to their music catalogue.
Peter Okoye has since raised allegations of irregularities connected to their former management arrangements, which reignited public tension and reportedly led to legal actions involving members of the Okoye family.
