What fans did that led to P-Square’s split – Peter Okoye
Peter Okoye, Afrobeat singer and one half of the defunct singing twins, P-Square, has blamed fans for the group’s breakup.
P-Square first broke up in 2017 after years of internal conflicts and public feuds over management, finances, and creative direction.
Jude Okoye, the twins’ elder brother who owned a significant share of their company PClassic Label also got dragged into the messy breakup.
However, speaking during the AYLIVE show, Peter said fans’ habit of constantly comparing him and his brother, Paul, fueled tension and ego issues between them.
Peter argued that fans’ favoritism towards one brother over the other created divisions, ultimately leading to the group’s split.
He said: “Fans are the reason Psquare no dey together today. Two brothers dey do one thing, ona dey talk say one better pass one, e con enter one head, he begin misbehave. If ona like make ona dey go house, I no send una.”
While the brothers were together as PSquare, the group had huge commercial success which saw them selling out stadiums across Africa.

Formed in 1997, the group rose to fame with hits like “E No Easy,” “Bizzy Body,” and “Personally.”
Earlier in February, Paul blamed Peter for their Jude’s legal issues. The singer addressed the press after Jude’s bail hearing, stressing that his twin was the cause of the ongoing issues.
He said, “The truth is reports are making it look like Jude is a fraud but let’s call a spade a spade. Peter is the one putting Jude through this. Peter is doing this and putting him in prison; I’m here to bring him out. I don’t deny that Peter is my brother, that has nothing to do with it. If they say Jude is guilty of these crimes, then Peter is guilty and Paul is guilty.”
