<h2>P-Square's impact is well documented in the annals of Nigerian music history with their work massively contributing to the commercialisation and exportation of Nigerian pop music. </h2>

<p>In a recent interview with <strong>City</strong> <strong>FM</strong>, <strong>Paul Okoye </strong>who is one-half of the <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/30-unforgettable-hit-songs-from-p-square/j4g89h4">legendary duo P-Square</a> revealed that he has parted ways with his twin brother <strong>Peter</strong> after the latter said he was no longer interested in the group. </p>

<p>When asked if<em> "P-Square is good right now"</em>, Paul replied in the negative. </p>

<p>While expressing his reluctance to go into details of their dispute, Paul Okoye shared that the group had creative differences over how they wanted to make their music. </p>

<p><em>"He sent me a message that he was no longer interested. He told me to my face that he wants to quit," </em>Paul said confirming the split. </p>

<p>He further shared that his twin brother Peter requested that they don't make the split public, a decision he wasn't comfortable with because of the chances of being labeled the bad person should he choose to reactivate his solo career. </p>

<p><em>"When I go solo, they will call me a bad person that's why I need to start speaking so the fans can know what's going on,"</em> Paul says on his decision to go public. </p>

<p>Paul further shared that Peter petitioned him and their older brother <strong>Jude</strong> <strong>Okoye</strong> to the EFCC who invited him in which reflects how badly his relationship with his brother has deteriorated.</p>

<p>In the interview, Paul also shared that the EFCC investigated and cleared him of any financial misappropriation. </p>

<p><em>"I just want to resume my career as Rudeboy. I have over 200 songs just lying there," </em>Paul says on reactivating his solo career while also boasting that he wrote 99% of their songs as P-Square.</p>

<p>Readers will recall that <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/peter-okoye-pop-star-hints-at-psquare-breakup/chqkh36">P-Square had a fallout that led to their split in 2017</a> which was followed by a solo career where they adopted the name <strong>Mr. P</strong> (Peter) and <strong>Rudeboy</strong> (Paul). </p>

<p><a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/opinion-the-return-of-p-square-nobody-wins-when-the-family-feuds-but-what-does-the/zl00pv8">The award-winning duo got back together in 2021 </a>and marked their reunion with a concert in Lagos where they apologised to their fans. After reuniting, P-Square released the tracks <em>'Jaiye' </em>and<em> 'Find Somebody' </em>ahead of a highly anticipated new album. </p>

<p>Their latest split marks another low point in the relationship of the iconic duo who's one of the biggest music stars to emerge from Africa.</p>
