Davido's Fiery 2020 Comment on Psquare's Separate Birthday Celebrations Resurfaces Online
An old social media post by Afrobeats superstar Davido criticizing people who attended separate birthday parties for twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye has resurfaced amid renewed tensions between the former Psquare members. The DMW label boss originally shared his thoughts in 2020 when the brothers celebrated their 40th birthdays with individual events.
Background of the Resurfaced Controversy
The renewed interest in Davido's comments comes after Peter Okoye, one half of the defunct Psquare music group, recently announced he would no longer celebrate his birthday on November 18, the date he shares with his twin brother Paul. Instead, Mr P revealed he would mark his birthday on November 30 moving forward, a declaration that has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms.
Davido's original post from 2020 expressed clear disappointment with the situation, stating he was "angry because they are twins and it was not supposed to be that way." The Unavailable crooner acknowledged that the brothers' relationship was "none of his business" but emphasized that "it hurt him to see the brothers that way."
Social Media Reactions to the Resurfaced Post
Netizens have been actively discussing both Davido's old comments and the ongoing Psquare feud, with many expressing nostalgia for the group's musical legacy and concern about the brothers' relationship:
- LeixunJoachin commented: "Prophet David."
- Ahras_co noted: "Would have been different if we'd known them separately. They came to us as PSquare for nearly a decade, that's what we knew them as."
- BIG__GHOUST questioned: "Imagine twins celebrating their birthdays separately."
- AndyjnrUmaru lamented: "Ever since they separated, No more banger just Flops back to back. We Need our Psquare back. We need Good music to carry on."
- TheOnlyKemi expressed concern: "It's so painful, their mother would be rolling in her grave to see what her twin sons (once best friends) has turned to."
Recent Developments in the Psquare Saga
Following Peter Okoye's birth date announcement, Paul Okoye appeared to respond indirectly by promoting a joint concert with Ghanaian artist Fancy Gadam scheduled for May 30, 2026, in Ghana. This move has been interpreted by some observers as Paul maintaining focus on his career rather than engaging directly with the birth date controversy.
One social media user reacted to Paul's post by stating: "Nothing concern Paul with drama. Own the birth date Nna. Na u be the older one, na u fess come out."
Broader Context of the Psquare Separation
The Okoye brothers, who formed the highly successful Psquare duo that dominated the African music scene for years, have experienced a public separation that has played out across media platforms. Their individual careers have continued with varying degrees of success, but fans consistently express hope for a reunion that would restore the musical partnership that produced numerous hits.
Davido's resurfaced comments highlight how the entertainment community has been affected by the brothers' separation, with fellow artists and fans alike expressing disappointment at the dissolution of one of Africa's most celebrated musical partnerships.
