Peter Okoye Moves Birthday To November 30, Sparks Reactions Online

Singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has officially announced a change in his birthday celebration date, moving it from November 18 to November 30.

According to Ireporter Online, the music star made the announcement via a note shared on X on Tuesday, where he addressed family, friends, and fans, stating that November 18 will no longer be recognised as his birthday celebration date. He further noted that he will not be receiving birthday wishes or gifts on the former date.

Peter Okoye explained that November 30 will now serve as his official birthday celebration date, describing the adjustment as a personal decision and appreciating the understanding of his supporters.

In his statement, he wrote that November 18 should no longer be associated with birthday celebrations for him, adding that all messages and gifts should be directed to the new date. He expressed gratitude to his fans for their continued support and understanding.

The development comes after earlier indications that the singer intended to shift his birthday, a move widely interpreted as part of a growing distinction from his twin brother, Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy. Both brothers were born on November 18, 1981, and traditionally shared the same birthday celebration.

Their relationship has remained strained since the split of their music duo, P-Square, despite occasional attempts at reconciliation over the years.

Reactions have trailed the announcement on social media, with users expressing mixed opinions, while others described it as a personal lifestyle choice.

Peter Okoye continues his solo music career as Mr P and is married to Lola Omotayo.
