A 2021 interview of Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has resurfaced online, offering fans a detailed account of how he met his wife, Lola Okoye. The interview, originally conducted with UK-based media personality Adesope Olajide, has gained renewed attention amid the ongoing public feud between Peter and his twin brother Paul Okoye (Rudeboy) and older brother Jude Okoye.
In the interview, Peter recounted the unlikely chain of events that brought Lola into his life and, as he claims, helped shape the early career trajectory of the music duo P-Square. This comes shortly after Peter also opened up about how his family allegedly mistreated Lola following the birth of their son.
How Lola Became a P-Square Fan
According to Peter, their former manager at the time knew Lola and gave her a copy of a P-Square CD. The twist? The disc jammed inside her car's CD player, leaving her no option but to listen to the group's music every time she got behind the wheel. Gradually, the songs won her over, and she evolved into a devoted fan of the group.
Her support went beyond casual listening. Lola began showing up at P-Square concerts and actively recommending the duo for bookings and gigs. Peter noted that the brothers made it a habit to personally acknowledge her presence whenever she attended their shows, grateful for her enthusiasm.
Mr P's Search Around Anthony, Lagos
The situation took a complicated turn when the brothers parted ways with the manager who had originally introduced them to Lola. The manager, apparently bitter about the split, refused to share her contact details, cutting off their link to her entirely.
Peter said he refused to accept that outcome. He launched a personal search around the Anthony area of Lagos, combing through the neighbourhood until he eventually tracked her down. The two connected, and the rest, as he put it, became history. Peter also described Lola as a destiny helper for P-Square, suggesting her early support and networking played a meaningful role in building momentum for the group during their rise.

Peter Okoye's Claims Over Reunion with Twin Brother
Legit.ng previously reported that Peter Okoye alleged that P-Square's reunion with his twin brother, Rudeboy, slowed his social media growth. He explained that before the comeback, his accounts were booming, gaining up to 100,000 new followers daily and ranking alongside Davido and Don Jazzy in influence. However, after the reunion, his follower growth dropped drastically, and he speculated that the comeback might have been the reason, though he admitted he wasn't entirely certain.
