Peter Obumneme Okoye, born on November 18, 1981, and professionally recognized as Mr. P, is a multifaceted Nigerian artist known for his work as a singer, songwriter, dancer, and record producer. He first rose to prominence in the early 2000s as one half of the acclaimed music duo P-Square, alongside his identical twin brother, Rudeboy.
In a notable achievement in 2021, Okoye received an honorary doctorate from ESCAE University in the Benin Republic, underscoring his contributions to the music industry.
In a recent interview Peter Okoye of the musical duo P-Square revealed that Janet Jackson viewed their 2013 music video for “Personally” alongside her family and encouraged her brother Jermaine to reach out to the duo.
Prior to Jackson’s passing in 2009, Akon had advocated for a collaboration between Michael Jackson and Afrobeats artists, although the timeline for such a project evolved. Ultimately, P-Square did collaborate with Jermaine Jackson on the 2014 track “Zombie,” featured on their album “Double Trouble,” a song that resonated with Jackson’s signature style and garnered international acclaim.
