Nigerian music superstar Peter Okoye, one-half of the legendary duo PSquare, has clapped back at social media critics questioning his continued use of the PSquare name following his recent birthday date change controversy.
The drama unfolded on X (formerly Twitter) when an eagle-eyed user called out the “Ejeajo” crooner for allegedly changing his birthday date while still holding onto the PSquare brand identity. The critic suggested that if Peter could alter such personal information, perhaps it was time to drop the group name entirely.
Peter’s Bold Response
Never one to shy away from controversy, Peter Okoye didn’t mince words in his response. The music icon made it crystal clear that he has every right to use the PSquare moniker, dropping a bombshell claim that he was the one who originally discovered and created the name.
“I discovered the name,” Peter declared confidently, shutting down any notion that he should abandon the brand he helped build into one of Africa’s most recognizable music exports.
The PSquare Legacy
For those who came in late, PSquare – comprised of identical twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye – dominated the African music scene for over a decade. With monster hits like “Do Me,” “Chop My Money,” “Personally,” and “Collabo,” the duo became household names not just in Nigeria but across the continent and beyond.
The group’s 2017 split sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment industry, with both brothers pursuing solo careers. Peter adopted the stage name Mr P, while Paul became Rudeboy. Despite their separation, both have continued to reference their PSquare heritage in various ways.
Birthday Controversy Explained
The current social media storm stems from allegations that Peter recently changed his birthday date on official records. While the singer hasn’t directly addressed the birthday change claims, his fierce defense of using the PSquare name suggests he’s unbothered by critics questioning his decisions.
Nigerians React
As expected, Nigerian Twitter (now X) has been buzzing with reactions. While some fans support Peter’s right to use the name he helped create, others argue that the PSquare brand should belong equally to both brothers or be retired altogether.
The situation highlights the ongoing tension surrounding the PSquare legacy and the complicated dynamics between the Okoye twins, even years after their split.
For now, Peter Okoye remains adamant: the PSquare name is his to use, and no amount of social media pressure will change that stance.
