P-Square Biography: Age, Parents, Wives, Children, Biggest Songs and Net Worth

P-Square (Peter and Paul Okoye) dominated the Nigerian music scene from 2003, with the Last Night album, until 2017.

In the early 2000s, fans would keep their ears peeled during the Yelutide season for P-Square news and songs. Year in, year out, the duo gave fans not only songs but the album of the season, with Albums like Get Square and Busy Body. Although P-Square has disbanded, they were one of Africa’s biggest musical acts, and fans still rate them as one of Afrobeats’ biggest acts to this day.

Here is everything to know about Peter and Paul Okoye from their days as P-Square and in their solo career as Mr and Rudeboy after a very public fallout.

Who is P-Square?

P-Square is a duo of twin musicians and one of the biggest musical acts in Nigerian music: Peter and Paul Okoye, now going by Rudeboy (Paul Okoye) and Mr P (Peter Okoye). They rose to fame in the early 2000s and quickly became one of Nigeria’s favorite musical acts, alongside legends like 2face ididba, Style Plus, and Olu Maintain, who owned that era of Nigerian music and entertainment. Although both brothers sang and danced, Paul Okoye (Rudeboy) took the first verse. Peter Okoye (Mr P) took the second verse. Many fans used their most recognizable talents to differentiate the brothers: Paul could sing as he led the music, and Peter could dance as he led the choreography that always accompanied it.

Psquare’s father, Mazi Moses Okoye, died 2 years later, in 2014, after suffering a heart attack at the Psquare Ikeja mansion.
