Peter Okoye, Afrobeats singer, songwriter, and one half of the defunct P-Square musical duo, has officially announced a change to his date of birth.
He opted for a new birthday on Monday in a now-trending post shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) account.
His decision comes amid a lingering and increasingly public feud involving his twin brother, Paul, and their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye.

Despite their much-publicised reunion in 2021, problems resurfaced, with Peter accusing Paul and Jude of marginalisation and financial misconduct. Conversely, Paul countered by alleging that Peter reported them to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The long-running tension escalated in June 2025 when Peter declared he had completely severed ties with his family—particularly his brothers.
In his latest post, Peter told his fans and other netizens that he has dropped 18 November as his birth date and adopted a new day for his birthday celebrations.
Speaking via his verified handle, he wrote: “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.”
The artist added: “My birthday will now be celebrated on 30th November. This is a personal decision, and I truly appreciate your understanding.”
