Mr P announces plan to change birthday amid ongoing feud with twin brother Paul Okoye

Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has publicly announced his intention to change his birthday date, a move widely interpreted as a symbolic break from his twin brother, Paul Okoye (Rudeboy), amid their ongoing and escalating dispute. Both brothers were born on November 18, 1981, and have historically shared the date, often celebrating it together during their years as the music duo P-Square. However, their relationship has deteriorated significantly over time due to repeated personal and professional conflicts.

The latest development comes as part of a broader and long-running feud that includes disagreements over music ownership, production credits, and allegations involving financial misconduct. One of the key issues in the recent tension is a dispute over a song titled “Winning,” with Paul accusing Peter of collaborating with a producer he originally worked with without proper consent. Peter, on the other hand, has denied any wrongdoing and provided his own account of how the song was created.

Beyond music-related disagreements, the brothers’ conflict has also involved claims related to petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), with both sides exchanging accusations and denials. Although there was a brief reconciliation in 2021, the peace did not last, and by 2024 the pair had once again gone their separate ways publicly.

Peter’s announcement about changing his birthday is being seen as one of the strongest symbolic gestures yet, suggesting a complete emotional and personal separation from the shared identity he once had with his twin. The move has sparked reactions from fans who have followed the P-Square story for years, many of whom view the shared birthday as one of the last remaining links between the brothers. This decision highlights how deep and unresolved the rift has become, extending beyond music into personal identity and family ties.
