The Okoye Twins: A New Rift Over Songwriting Credits
In a separate development, the Okoye twins, Peter (Mr. P) and Paul Okoye (Rude Boy), are embroiled in another feud—this time over songwriting credits.
The dispute arose after Peter announced the release of his latest single, ‘Winning’, scheduled for June 2025. Paul claims he wrote the song as part of an agreement where both brothers would contribute six songs each for a collaborative album. However, since their separation as P-Square, Peter has allegedly released the track solo, with the support of his management.
Taking to Instagram, Paul expressed his frustration, referring to his brother as “Oloriburuku” (a Yoruba insult) and accusing him of breaching their agreement.
Peter’s Defense
In response, Peter denied the allegations, claiming he co-wrote the song with the producer. He accused Paul and their older brother, Jude Okoye, of attempting to take down the song from music platforms.
“I wrote the song with the producer. Paul and Jude are doing everything to pull it down, but I’ll fight till the end,” Peter wrote in an Instagram post.
This latest disagreement has reignited tensions between the brothers, who reunited briefly in 2021 after years of estrangement but have since gone their separate ways again.
A Year of Drama for the Okoye Family
The viral video involving Mr. P’s wife and the songwriting dispute adds to what has been a tumultuous year for the Okoye family. Despite their ongoing differences, both Peter and Paul continue to achieve success in their respective solo careers, cementing their legacies as icons in Nigerian music.
Conclusion: Celebrity Life Under the Microscope
The viral video and the songwriting controversy underscore the challenges of living in the public eye. For Peter Okoye, humor and resilience seem to be his way of navigating public scrutiny and familial disputes.
As fans await Peter’s upcoming single ‘Winning’ and follow the unfolding drama, it’s clear that the Okoye twins remain at the center of attention in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
