Peter Okoye, the Nigerian singer and songwriter popularly known as Mr P, has officially announced a change to his birthday celebration date.
This is an action which is now seen as a deep break from his twin brother, Paul Okoye.
In a post shared via his X account on Monday, the artist declared that November 18 will no longer be recognized as his birthday.
“I’m making it official. November 18th is no longer my birthday celebration date. Please note that I will not be accepting any messages or gifts on that day,” he wrote.
He added, “My birthday will now be celebrated on November 30th. This is a personal decision, and I truly appreciate your understanding.”
The announcement comes amid a lingering and increasingly public feud involving his twin brother Paul and their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye.
Members of the once known as P-Square, Peter and Paul went their separate ways following intense disputes over management, finances, and allegations of betrayal.
Despite their much-publicized reunion in 2021, problems resurfaced, with Peter accusing Paul and Jude of marginalization and financial misconduct, while Paul countered by alleging that Peter reported them to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The long-running tension escalated in June 2025 when Peter declared he had completely severed ties with his family particularly his brothers.
