Nigerian musicians Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P of the defunct P-Square group, have reconciled after a heated public feud sparked by the 2023 general elections.
The disagreement stemmed from their opposing views on the presidential ambition of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s candidate at the time. Tensions escalated when Kuti described Obi as an “opportunist,” a remark that drew a sharp response from Okoye, who questioned Kuti’s relevance and accomplishments in the music industry.
What began as a political disagreement quickly spiraled into a bitter exchange on social media, with both artistes trading barbs that drew widespread public attention and divided fans.
However, the rift now appears to have been resolved. The two musicians were recently spotted together at a Lagos nightclub, where they shared a warm embrace and appeared to put the past behind them.
A video of the moment, which has since gone viral, captured Kuti telling Okoye, “We are artistes, we can’t be fighting over politicians.” Okoye was seen agreeing with the sentiment as both men laughed and hugged, signalling a clear end to the feud.
The reconciliation has been widely welcomed by fans, many of whom praised the duo for choosing unity over prolonged hostility, particularly over political differences.
