Nigerian music star Mr P, formerly of the P-Square duo, has clapped back at a social media user who suggested he should call it a career. The comment came after he posted footage of himself dancing in a new music video, with the critic arguing that Afrobeats is music for younger artists.
Rather than let the remark slide, the singer took to his platform to remind fans of his credentials. He highlighted his ability to sing, dance, play multiple instruments, and his formal musical training. “Put some respect on the name Peter Okoye aka Mr P,” he wrote, making it clear he won’t be silenced by age-related criticism.
Mr P also suggested that many of the negative comments come from P-Square fans who haven’t moved on from the group’s breakup. He urged them to accept the split and focus on his solo journey, which he described as “one of the best things that has ever happened” to him.
To underscore his relevance, Mr P revealed that he recently inked a five-year, multi-million-dollar deal with an international distributor. The agreement covers three albums, and he made it clear that nothing will slow his momentum. “Nobody can stop this movement. The train has left the station. It’s Mr P Forever!” he concluded.
