The Nigerian music industry and music lovers have come to accept that celebrity musicians and twins once popularly known as P-square may never come back together as a musical duo. Paul Nonso Okoye, now addressed as \u2018Rudeboy’ and his brother Peter Okoye, now addressed as Mr. P at a time, were a formidable duo churning out the best of R&B, hip hop, afrobeat songs to the delight of their fans and music lovers generally.<\/p>\n

However, all that they achieved and could have achieved together had it been they remained one are all past and wishful thinking now. But as solo artists, the famous brothers seem to have convinced skeptics about how uniquely talented they are, especially Rudeboy. Looking back at when they parted ways, some people might agree that it is a decision that has paid off well for the brothers.<\/p>\n

What Caused P-Square’s Separation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Paul and Peter Okoye were Nigeria\u2019s greatest melodic group up until they had a battle and headed out in different directions. Reports about Paul and Peter’s separation surfaced after Peter supposedly sent a letter to the group’s legal counselor stating his desire to leave the group. Preceding this report, the group separated on the 25th of September 2017. Peter accused his twin of always taking the credit for their success and working with their elder brother Jude to threaten his life and that of his family. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before their ultimate separation, the Okoye brothers had severally threatened to break up<\/span> but each time they fought, they made up and continued with their careers. September 2017, however, proved otherwise as the duo agreed to sign a complete breakup of what appeared to be a family business. The breakup was also supposedly over a disagreement about the role of their manager\u2014their elder brother, Jude Okoye. In a statement on why P-Square’s separation was necessary, Peter explained that their separation ought to have happened years before the release of their last studio album, Double Trouble<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Report from Premium Times Nigeria<\/a> also had Peter accusing his brother Paul of being generally uncooperative about matters relating to the group, and for slandering his wife and children on social media. This, according to him, led to his nuclear family receiving \u201dreceiving threatening messages.\u201d<\/p>\n
