Peter Okoye ends Psquare for good, confirming he will not reunite with brother Paul, and urges fans to accept the final end of the iconic music group
Peter Okoye ends Psquare in a final and emotional declaration that has confirmed what many fans had feared—the iconic Nigerian duo will never reunite.
The singer, who once made up one half of the massively successful group Psquare with his twin brother Paul Okoye, has shut the door on any possible comeback.
The statement was made in response to a fan’s tweet, where Peter addressed the speculation surrounding the group’s future. “There will be nothing like Psquare forever. There’s time for everything,” he wrote, making it crystal clear that their collaboration is firmly in the past.
The brothers, once inseparable hitmakers who dominated African music charts for over a decade, have had a history of public and private feuds that repeatedly stalled and eventually dismantled their partnership.
While many hoped their brief reunion in 2021 would signal lasting peace, Peter’s latest words suggest the opposite.
Now fully focused on his solo career, Peter Okoye is embracing independence. In the same online exchange, he stated, “I am my own Square,” declaring his intention to define his musical identity on his own terms.
The statement wasn’t just symbolic; it was pointed. He went further to say, “Judeboy & Rudeboy, that’s the new JPsquare make una manage them. It’s their time.”
The reference was a clear nod to his brother Paul Okoye (Rudeboy) and their older brother Jude Okoye, who had managed the group during its peak years.
By referring to them as “JPsquare,” Peter seemed to suggest a new era for his former collaborators—without him in the picture.
A media insider close to the family shared, “This isn’t just a PR moment. Peter has truly moved on. The wounds are deep, and both sides are tired of pretending.”
The decision, although not shocking, still leaves a sting for longtime fans who grew up with Psquare’s iconic hits like No One Like You, Personally, and Beautiful Onyinye. Social media users have shared mixed reactions, with some expressing sadness while others praised Peter’s honesty.
One fan wrote, “Peter has every right to protect his peace. I’ll miss Psquare, but we can’t force people to work together if it’s toxic.” Another commented, “Family or not, you’ve got to know when to walk away.”
This isn’t Peter’s first public fallout involving family. He previously clashed with both Paul and Jude over creative differences and financial transparency.
Matters became more heated when allegations surfaced in unrelated legal battles and business disputes, with Peter often feeling sidelined or misrepresented.
While Paul Okoye continues to release music under the Rudeboy moniker, Peter has carved his own lane as Mr P, blending Afropop with dance and R&B influences. Though his solo journey has had its ups and downs, he appears determined to move forward without old baggage.
In his words, “I dey on my own dey run my own race.” That race, by all accounts, is now truly a solo sprint—free from the shadows of Psquare and fuelled by a new personal rhythm.
Peter Okoye’s firm declaration marks the official end of one of Africa’s most beloved musical duos. Whether or not the brothers reconcile personally remains unknown, but professionally, the curtain has fallen. The music may live on, but the group is history.
