Peter Okoye of the defunct P-Square group has announced a change in the date he celebrates his birthday.
In a message shared on his X account on Monday, the music star stated that November 18 will no longer serve as his official birthday celebration day.
He informed family, friends, and fans that he would no longer accept messages or gifts on the former date, adding that celebrations would henceforth hold on November 30.
According to him, the decision is personal and should be respected by his supporters.
He wrote, “Dear Family, Friends, and Fans,
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.
“My birthday will now be celebrated on November 30th. This is a personal decision, and I truly appreciate your understanding.
Thank you all.”
Okoye did not provide further details on what informed the change, but appreciated his supporters for respecting his decision.
Meanwhile, fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry have begun reacting to the announcement across social media, with many wishing him well while others expressed surprise over the change of date.
The singer who now goes by Mr P has been having a running battle with his twin brother, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, and elder brother cum manager, Jude.
In June 2025, Peter explicitly stated that he had severed ties with his family, especially his brothers.
“We are no longer family at this point! Family is blood-related, but the real family is loyalty. Like I said, don’t let family be the reason you’re drowning in silence,” he stated.
