Nigerian singer and producer J. Martins has called on the members of the former music duo P-Square, Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye, to put aside their long-running disagreement and reconcile for the sake of unity and cultural pride.
In a recent public appeal, J. Martins urged the brothers to resolve their differences, stressing that their ongoing rift reflects poorly on the wider Igbo community, of which they are prominent representatives in the entertainment industry.
He appealed to both artists to consider their shared legacy and the impact their separation continues to have on fans who grew up admiring their success as one of Africa’s most influential music groups.
P-Square, once celebrated globally for hit songs and energetic performances, have experienced repeated breakups and reconciliations over the years, largely due to internal disagreements involving management, finances, and family-related tensions.
The duo first split in 2017, later reunited in 2021 to widespread excitement, before their differences resurfaced, leading to another fallout that has remained unresolved.
J. Martins’ comments add to the growing list of public figures who have urged reconciliation between the brothers, as fans continue to express hope that the iconic group will eventually reunite permanently.
Despite multiple mediation attempts and public interventions, the dispute between Peter and Paul Okoye remains ongoing, with both artists currently pursuing separate paths in their music careers.
The renewed call for peace highlights the enduring influence of P-Square and the emotional connection fans still have to their legacy, which remains one of the most successful in African music history.
