Peter Okoye has drawn fresh support from fans amid the P-Square feud, as Nigerians react to his latest comments and call on Paul Okoye to respond publicly.
LAGOS, NIGERIA — Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has received renewed support from fans amid his long-running feud with his twin brother, Paul Okoye, as social media users debate the latest developments involving the former P-Square stars. The reaction comes as the brothers continue their separate music careers after another bitter split.
A review of public reactions by Newstridez shows that fans remain deeply divided over the dispute, although a section of supporters has rallied behind Peter and urged Paul to address the issues raised by his twin brother. The renewed debate reflects the strong emotional connection Nigerians still have with P-Square, one of Africa’s best-known music duos.
The Okoye brothers have experienced repeated public disagreements since their first major split in 2017. They reunited in 2021, giving fans hope that the family and professional differences had been settled, but Paul later confirmed another separation in 2024. Since then, Peter has continued as Mr P, while Paul has maintained his solo career as Rudeboy.
The latest reactions also follow Peter’s repeated complaints about comparisons between him and his twin. In June 2026, Peter told fans to stop comparing him with Paul or other musicians, arguing that each artiste should be judged on his own career. The comments again pushed the brothers’ relationship into public discussion and renewed questions about what caused the partnership to collapse.
The dispute has previously centred on claims about individual contributions to P-Square’s success. In an open letter to Paul in August 2024, Peter challenged claims that Paul wrote and sang most of the group’s songs. Peter listed several P-Square records he said reflected his own contribution and questioned whether the brothers could match the scale of success they achieved together as solo artistes.
Peter also rejected the suggestion that he wanted fans to turn against Paul, saying the continued public disagreement had damaged both brothers. His position was that P-Square’s strength came from the combined efforts of the twins, rather than one brother taking sole credit for the group’s achievements. Paul’s earlier comments, however, had presented a different account of the group’s creative process.
The feud has gone beyond music and has also involved their elder brother, Jude Okoye, who previously managed P-Square. Peter has accused Jude of financial wrongdoing and said he petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over matters involving the group’s finances. Jude has denied Peter’s allegations, while the EFCC later brought charges against him and Northside Music Ltd.
For many Nigerian fans, the disagreement carries more weight because P-Square represented a period when twin-led Nigerian pop acts dominated African entertainment. Their songs, dance performances and international concerts helped establish the duo as one of Nigeria’s most recognisable music exports. The repeated breakups have therefore remained a major talking point among fans who watched the brothers rise together.
Newstridez reviewed available public reactions and found that support for Peter does not mean every fan accepts his account of the feud. Some social media users have urged both brothers to stop discussing their private disagreements publicly, while others continue to demand that Paul respond to Peter’s latest position before conclusions are drawn. That split in opinion shows how closely Nigerians still follow the brothers.
The public interest has also continued despite both artistes pursuing separate careers. Peter recently released new music and attracted attention after fans called for a collaboration involving Davido and Chris Brown, while Paul has continued performing and releasing music independently. Their individual activities show that the brothers remain commercially relevant, even without the P-Square brand.
For now, the latest fan reaction has placed renewed pressure on Paul to give his side of the story. Unless he responds directly to the issues now circulating online, the debate is likely to continue, with fans drawing conclusions from Peter’s statements and the brothers’ long history of public disagreements. Peter Okoye and Paul remain apart professionally, leaving fans to wait and see whether another public response will further widen the rift or open a path to peace.
