Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has revealed three things people must know about him, noting that entertainers are like “goats” people usually use in celebrating the festive periods.
The energetic musician and dancer made the statement during the premiere of ‘Battle on Buka Street,’ an anticipated comedy-drama movie by Funke Akindele.
Asked how he intended to spend the festive period, Mr P said it was a money-making period for entertainers, adding that they only go for concerts and shows and rarely had time for family.
He said, “We (entertainers) are the goats used in celebrating Christmas. We go to concerts and shows and don’t have time to celebrate Christmas. Do you want me to tell you that I am going to travel with my family? No now, it is a money-making period.”
Expressing that he was not a fan of the red carpet, Mr P said he graced the occasion to show support for Funke Akindele, adding that questions surrounding the reconciliation with his twin brother, Paul, aka Rude Boy, was old news.
Asked about the three things people don’t know about him, Mr P said, “One, don’t ever catch me eating. I am a fast eater and I can finish my meal in three minutes. Two, I do not eat fish at all. And lastly, I have a habit of filing my nails.”
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the singer rose to fame in the 2000s as a member of the P-Square duo with his identical twin brother Rudeboy and in 2021 was awarded an honorary Doctorate degree from ESCAE University in Benin Republic.
In 2013 Peter Okoye and his then-girlfriend, Lola Omotayo welcomed their daughter Aliona in a San Francisco hospital in the United States. On 17 November 2013, the duo got married at the Ark in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria.
