P‑Square Breakup: What Happened and Where They Are Now

Fans were shocked when the biggest Nigerian duo of the last decade walked away from each other. The news hit social media hard, but the reasons behind the split are pretty straightforward once you dig a little deeper.

Why the duo split

The main spark was a family dispute over money and management control. Peter and Paul Okoye have always worked together, but when the stakes grew bigger, they started disagreeing on how to run their brand. Each wanted a say in decisions like touring plans, song releases, and contract deals.

Adding fuel to the fire was a rumor about one brother signing an exclusive deal without looping the other in. That broke trust fast because both had built P‑Square on equal partnership. When you feel sidelined, it’s hard to keep collaborating smoothly.

Another factor was creative fatigue. After years of dropping hit after hit, they felt the pressure to constantly top themselves. The stress made arguments louder and more frequent. In short, a mix of money talks, trust issues, and burnout pushed them apart.

What’s next for each brother

Since the breakup, both Peter (formerly known as Mr P) and Paul (Rudeboy) have launched solo careers that show their individual styles. Peter went after a more R&B‑flavoured sound, dropping tracks like “Grace” and collaborating with other African artists to broaden his reach.

Paul kept the dance‑hall vibe alive, releasing high‑energy singles such as “The Return.” He’s also focusing on live performances across Africa, building a reputation as a solo showman. Both have used their social media platforms to keep fans updated and tease new music.Their split hasn’t stopped them from supporting each other publicly. Occasionally they post friendly messages or appear together at events, hinting that the door isn’t fully closed for future collaborations.

For listeners, the good news is more music. Whether you prefer Peter’s smoother melodies or Paul’s club‑ready beats, there’s fresh material to enjoy. Keep an eye on streaming platforms and their official pages for upcoming releases.

If you’re still missing that classic P‑Square chemistry, remember that many of their old hits stay popular on playlists worldwide. Those songs keep the duo’s legacy alive while they explore new paths.
