Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P, has mocked a viral social media post claiming he broke down in tears while performing classic P-Square songs during a recent show.
Okay News gathered that the exchange began when an online user alleged the singer became heavily emotional on stage, suggesting he was mourning the separation from his twin brother and the global dominance they once shared as Africa’s most respected music duo. The poster argued that despite their independent successes, both artists still live in the shadow of P-Square’s legacy and that “family should always be over money.”
However, Mr. P swiftly shut down the sentimental narrative, making it clear that the tearful incident never happened. Rather than addressing the emotional weight of the P-Square split, the singer focused entirely on the user’s underlying motive, laughing off the fabricated story as a desperate attempt to farm social media impressions for monetization.
Abeg which Mr P? 😂🤣😂🤣🤣 dis engagement money wey una dey look for! Country really don hard!🤭
he replied.
By calling out the “engagement money,” Mr. P highlighted a growing trend where users invent controversial or highly emotional stories about celebrities to generate paid traction on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), brushing off the P-Square nostalgia with a humorous jab at the country’s economic realities.
