“I Am My Own Square” - Peter Okoye Declares Psquare Era Over as He Bids Final Goodbye to Psquare Legacy [VIDEO]

 

The long-standing musical journey of Peter and Paul Okoye, famously known as Psquare, appears to have reached its definitive end. Peter Okoye, one half of the legendary Nigerian music duo, has publicly confirmed that the curtain has finally closed on their collaboration. Once a musical force known for electrifying stages and dominating charts across Africa and beyond, the Psquare brand has now taken on a new shape, one that excludes Peter entirely.

A response to a thought-provoking tweet ignited the revelation. The tweet, which read, “There will be nothing like Psquare forever. There’s time for everything,” drew Peter’s attention and agreement. Rather than dodge the sentiment or offer vague statements, Peter embraced the idea and used the opportunity to make a bold statement about his current focus.

Peter acknowledged the end of the group’s run as a duo, stressing that he is no longer part of the Psquare collaboration. With clarity and conviction, he made it known that he is forging ahead independently. His statement was not shrouded in ambiguity. “Exactly! Judeboy & Rudeboy, that’s the new JPsquare make una manage them. It’s their time. I dey on my own dey run my own race. I am my own Square,” he declared.

Fans of the duo will find this announcement striking, especially as it marks a formal and personal separation beyond just music. Psquare was not merely a group, it was a shared identity built on the synergy of twin brothers Peter and Paul. For many, their music symbolized unity, resilience, and brotherhood. However, over the years, tensions and internal differences have made headlines repeatedly, leading to multiple fallouts and reconciliations. This time, the tone is different and the break seems more conclusive.

Peter has now drawn a line, distinguishing his path from those of his brother Paul and their elder sibling Jude Okoye, who had also been the group’s manager during their joint career. According to him, Paul (Rudeboy) and Jude (Judeboy) will be continuing as a new formation under the name JPsquare. He urged fans to lend them their support as they take over the mantle.

There was no bitterness in Peter’s words. Instead, they reflected a sense of resolution. He emphasized his personal growth and dedication to his solo artistry. For someone who had shared an entire music career with his twin, stepping fully into his own lane marks a significant evolution. Since their first breakup years ago, Peter has consistently pushed his solo brand, Mr. P, exploring different sounds, visuals, and partnerships that highlight his individuality.

Many followers of Nigerian and African pop culture remember the meteoric rise of Psquare. From "Do Me" and "Bizzy Body" to "Personally" and "Alingo," the brothers created hit after hit that transcended borders. Their dance routines, infectious choruses, and distinctive chemistry won them a massive following. Their breakups have often been met with disappointment and public speculation, with fans hoping each time for a reunion.

Now, it seems Peter is not only walking away but embracing a new identity entirely. “I am my own Square,” he said. This phrase carries more than personal branding; it suggests independence, self-ownership, and perhaps a final goodbye to the idea that the Psquare identity must always involve the original two.

For the Okoye family, the future of the Psquare legacy may now rest with Paul and Jude. Whether their JPsquare formation will capture the same magic remains to be seen. Peter, on his part, has made it clear that he is focused on charting his own journey.

The evolution of artists and groups is not uncommon in the global music scene. For Peter Okoye, the story is no longer about a legendary duo but about an individual choosing his path, regardless of nostalgia or expectations.

As fans adjust to this shift, the message from Peter is loud and clear: the era of Psquare as the world once knew it has ended. What lies ahead is a new chapter, shaped by solo ambition and the determination to define oneself without the weight of legacy.
