It is almost impossible to talk about Mr P without mentioning the now-defunct P-Square. From their first hit single, Senorita, to Nobody Ugly, the twin duo sold-out world tours, with a cult-like following, on whom they had a Michael Jackson-like effect. Nobody saw the breakup coming. But like the mythical phoenix, Peter Okoye is rising from the ashes of the past.

Popular opinion has it that Peter was the cause of the P-Square breakup because of how open he has been with their issues.

Speaking of the breakup, he said:

“If I hadn’t opened up, the fans would have seen through it all… The only thing that kept us for the last four years was the shows; it’s not healthy, I can’t do that, I’m sorry.”

About the accusations for causing the breakup, Mr P stated:

“It never started from me. If you feel that it is my fault, for telling you guys the truth, look at where it has brought us today. I am cool with my brothers but I don’t do (family) business anymore. It’s not healthy.”

Guardian Life had a chat with the singer, dancer, entrepreneur and entertainer who covers the magazine today. Mr P talked about his family feud, his challenges and successes as a solo artist and much more.

So be sure to pick up a copy of today’s magazine at vendor stands nationwide. (Tip: It’s in the Guardian Nigeria newspaper.)
