Check Out Five Reasons Why P-Square Must Not Separate
In the midst of speculations that the P-Square brothers of Peter and Paul Okoye are having issues and throwing shades, Peter reveals that he has a YouTube channel and has gone solo.
The musician who has been addressing himself as Mr. P took to his instagram page to announce the Youtube account. He also has deactivated comments on his instagram page, preventing his fans from putting a comments on his post.
It was gathered that Peter has had the youtube channel for over a year. He recently revealed to his fans that he is on his own. The singer who has been performing in some shows alone took to social media to let his fans know about the latest development as well as his face book. In his post on face book, he welcomed fans to his world and introduced his new page to them.
Recall that this is not the first time the twins will fall out and leave fans praying for a quick re union. The last time it happened, a lot of fans witnessed the brothers going solo as Peter became Mr P and Paul, Rudeboy.
However nobody wants P-Square to go their separate ways for the following five reasons:
(1) They are brothers: Peter and Paul are not just blood brothers, they are twins, identical twins for that matter. After 2001 when they came to the limelight, it took fans years to be able to differentiate both of them. The resemblance is not just in the physique, but even their voices.
(2) They are super brand: Never in the history of modern music in Nigeria have we had a brand like the P-Square group. These guys represent a talent that is yet to be outshined. Since the emergence of P-Square, they have gone to become brand ambassadors for different companies. If they go their separate ways and become an individual act, they would become just like the regular day to day artistes that we already have and that would have defeated their purpose.
(3) They complement Each Other: The duo complement each other perfectly, If you watch closely every video P-Square has ever made, you will discover that they just don’t sing together as a group, they understand each other and their chemistry is not unnoticed. When Paul isn’t singing and Peter dancing, they are both interchanging roles which they do so effortlessly. Even at their concerts you can’t help but admire now they help each other all through, even if they make errors, just because they have been together for long and they understand themselves. They scale through, bringing out the best in them.
(4) It will lead to more bad blood between brothers: There have been wide speculations that the feud between these brothers started the moment they began having individual families. Even the subs that they both have been throwing around amount to the fact that the rift is family based. Now if great talents go sole, it would only get worse. The rivalry would be legendary as there won’t be any bond to ease out any tension. It may affect their wives and even children who are too young to grow up with malice.
(5) The fans won’t just allow them: P-Square has a dedicated fan base. These fans are crazy about them and won’t allow them to split and forget about their legacy. Fans will beg and cry if they have to but would ensure they stay together as one entity.

Funke Akindele’s ‘Behind The Scenes’ Grosses 1 billion
The milestone was confirmed on Monday by FilmOne, the movie’s distributor, who announced that the film is now the fastest title in West Africa to cross ?1 billion. The achievement further cements Akindele’s dominance in the Nigerian film industry.
Since its release, Behind the Scenes has shattered multiple records. It posted the highest single-day box office gross ever on Boxing Day, earning an impressive ?129.5 million. It is also the highest-grossing film of 2025 so far, and remarkably, it marks Akindele’s third movie to cross the ?1 billion mark, a feat no other director has achieved.
The Tide Entertainment reports that with this latest success, Akindele has strengthened her position as Nollywood’s highest-grossing producer of all time, becoming the first filmmaker to deliver three billion-naira blockbusters within a single calendar year.
Reacting to the achievement, the actress and filmmaker expressed heartfelt gratitude to her supporters, collaborators, and distributors, while also revealing the film’s growing international reach.
“Over the years, I’ve always valued my fans, because without God and you, I am nobody,” she wrote.“Thank you all for coming out to watch this movie and for supporting my brand through the years.Thank you to the distributors, my colleagues—especially those not in the movie who still came out to meet and greet my fans.Big love to the cast and crew. This is only the beginning; let’s take Behind the Scenes even further.”
She also disclosed that the film is currently screening in cinemas across two European countries and the United States, signaling its expanding global appeal.
Akindele’s box office dominance has been nothing short of historic. In 2023, Battle on Buka Street became Nollywood’s highest-grossing film with ?640 million. She raised the bar again in January 2024 when A Tribe Called Judah became the first Nigerian movie to hit ?1 billion. Later that year, Everybody Loves Jenifa broke another record, grossing ?1.6 billion to become the highest-earning film in West African history.

‘Faze Is Neutral In My Rift With Blackface – 2Face
Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has revealed his former bandmate Faze’s position in the long-running rift between him and their other ex-bandmate, Blackface.
The Tide Entertainment recalls that Blackface and 2Face have been involved in an on-and-off feud over the years, with the former repeatedly accusing the latter of intellectual property theft, allegations 2Face has consistently denied.
Addressing fans midway through his performance at the Made in Benue Festival in Makurdi recently, 2Face said Faze has maintained a neutral stance in the dispute between him and Blackface.
He stressed that the rift does not involve Faze in any way.
“You all know that Plantashun Boiz consisted of Blackface, 2Face and Faze. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, Blackface is not with us right now.
“However, no matter the beef wey me and Blackface get, nothing concern Faze inside. So, Faze is right here with me and we will represent Plantashun Boiz,” he said.
The rift between Blackface and 2Face began after Plantashun Boiz disbanded in the 2000s.
Following their split, Blackface blamed 2Face for the breakup and accused him of song theft.
The relationship between the duo has remained strained over the years despite several attempts at reconciliation, with peace efforts often short-lived.
