The Nigerian music industry was once dominated by the iconic duo P-Square, comprising twin brothers Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy. Together, they ruled the airwaves with their infectious Afrobeat sound and unforgettable hits like “No One Like You,” “Do Me,” and “Personally.” However, in recent years, the duo has been embroiled in a highly publicized fallout that led to their disbandment, much to the disappointment of fans across Africa and beyond.
The tensions between the brothers recently resurfaced, with Peter Okoye, now performing under the name Mr. P, addressing his grievances in an open letter to his brother Paul. Peter expressed frustration with how his contributions to P-Square were being minimized or overlooked in interviews and public appearances by Paul, who now goes by Rudeboy.
In the open letter, Peter lamented the lack of recognition he has received for his efforts in P-Square. He revealed that Paul's recent comments in interviews discredited his hard work, suggesting that Peter's role in their success was not as significant as the public believed. This, according to Peter, deeply hurt him, as he had always given his best to the group and had been instrumental in shaping P-Square's legacy.
Peter’s letter highlighted how their once-unbreakable bond as brothers and collaborators has frayed over time. He pointed out that his efforts to make the group successful went far beyond the stage. From overseeing business deals to ensuring their performances were top-notch, Peter claimed he poured his heart into P-Square's success.

Paul, on the other hand, has consistently maintained that their breakup stemmed from irreconcilable differences and a lack of harmony between them. He has publicly expressed his desire to move forward as a solo artist under the moniker Rudeboy, focusing on building his career independently.
Despite their separation, both brothers have continued to find success as solo artists. However, the emotional toll of their estrangement is evident. Peter's open letter underscores the pain and disappointment he feels from being misunderstood, both by his brother and the media.
While fans continue to hope for a P-Square reunion, the public feud between Peter and Paul shows no sign of resolution. Their once-glorious partnership is now marred by conflict, but the legacy of their music remains timeless in the hearts of their loyal supporters.
