Nigerian music star Peter Okoye, widely known as Mr P, has announced a personal shift in how he will celebrate his birthday, marking a symbolic change that has caught the attention of fans.
The former member of the iconic duo P-Square revealed that he will no longer observe his birthday on November 18, the date he was born.
Instead, the singer has chosen November 30 as his new day of celebration, a move he described as a deeply personal decision.
Mr P shared the update through a post on his Facebook page, where he briefly explained that the change was made for reasons best known to him.
Although he did not go into detail, the announcement has sparked conversation among followers who are curious about the motivation behind the decision.
The development comes amid a long standing rift between Peter and his twin brother Paul Okoye, with whom he once formed one of Africa’s most successful music groups.
Over the years, the brothers have reportedly clashed over several issues including financial disagreements and family related matters.
Their fallout has led to periods of separation, with both artists pursuing solo careers despite occasional attempts at reconciliation.
Born on November 18, 1981, the twins previously celebrated their birthdays together, often sharing the spotlight as a united front in both life and music.
Their joint celebrations were once a highlight for fans who admired their close bond and musical chemistry.
As P-Square, the duo produced numerous hit songs, including Enemy Solo, Bank Alert, Alingo, and Chop My Money, which dominated charts across Africa.
While Mr P’s latest decision may seem symbolic, it reflects the ongoing evolution of his personal journey, as he continues to redefine his identity outside the shadow of the once inseparable duo.
