By JUSTICE SANYA—Singer Peter Okoye, known professionally as Mr P, has revealed a shift in the date he observes his birthday, saying he will no longer celebrate it on November 18.
He made the announcement in a post on X on Monday, April 20, where he informed relatives, colleagues, and supporters that the former date would no longer be used for any form of celebration or acknowledgement.
According to him, he will also not be receiving congratulatory messages or presents on November 18, as he has chosen November 30 as his new personal celebration day.
“Dear family, friends, and fans, this is to inform you that November 18 is no longer my birthday celebration date. Kindly note that I will not be acknowledging messages or gifts on that day. My new celebration date is November 30. This is a personal choice, and I appreciate your understanding. Thank you all,” he wrote.
Peter Okoye and his twin brother, Paul, were born on November 18, 1981, and have traditionally shared the same birth anniversary.
The adjustment is seen as a move to create a clear distinction from his twin, amid ongoing tensions following the separation of their former music duo, P-Square, despite occasional reconciliations over time.
Mr P continues his music career independently and is married to Lola Omotayo.
