“We Can’t Be Fighting Over Politicians”- Peter Okoye And Seun Kuti Resolve Feud

• Nigerian musicians Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye (Mr P) have resolved their long-standing feud.
• The disagreement began during the 2023 elections over differing views on Labour Party candidate Peter Obi.
• Kuti labeled Obi an “opportunist,” which led Okoye to challenge Kuti’s influence and success in the music industry.

Nigerian musicians Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P from the former P-Square duo, have put an end to their long-standing disagreement.

The dispute, which erupted during the 2023 elections, stemmed from their differing opinions about Labour Party candidate Peter Obi. Kuti had described Obi as an “opportunist,” prompting Peter Okoye to question Kuti’s influence and achievements in the music industry. This exchange quickly escalated into a heated social media clash.

Recently, the two artists appeared to have reconciled, as they were seen embracing each other at a club in Lagos.

“We are artists; we shouldn’t be fighting over politicians,” Kuti reportedly told Okoye, who agreed and shook hands with him.
