Nigerian singer, songwriter, and music producer Martins Okey Justice, better known as J Martins, has urged the defunct P-Square duo, Peter and Paul Okoye, to settle their rift privately instead of engaging in a social media war.
The ‘Cool Temper’ crooner gave the advice to the celebrity twins on Wednesday via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle.
He was reacting to the recent announcement by one half of the musical duo, Peter Okoye, that he is changing his birthday to a different date from that of his twin brother, Paul, due to an alleged betrayal by him and their elder brother, Jude.
Speaking via his verified handle, Peter said: “I’m making it official. 18th November is no longer my birthday celebration date. Please note that I will not be accepting any messages or gifts on that day.
“My birthday will now be celebrated on 30th November. This is a personal decision, and I truly appreciate your understanding.”

Reacting to the post, J Martins, who was the group’s producer for decades, argued that Peter’s decision makes no sense.
He went on to urge the Okoyes to resolve their differences amicably to avoid bringing shame on the Igbo nation.
“These are my brothers for more than two decades. I still don’t understand why one will just wake up decades later to change his own birthday, separating it from his twin brother?
“@PeterPSquare and @RudeboyPsquare, can we fix this stuff inside our house and not bring this shame on ‘Ndi Igbo nke anyi’?” J Martins counselled.
