Music from the defunct Nigerian duo P-Square is experiencing renewed interest on Apple Music Nigeria amid fresh public attention on the Okoye brothers’ long-running dispute.
The interest comes as the Okoye brothers trade words publicly over their long-running disagreements, prompting fans to revisit the songs and albums that made P-Square one of Africa’s biggest music groups.
According to music chart platform Album Talks HQ, the duo’s compilation album, Best of P-Square, climbs 87 places to number 100 on the Nigeria Apple Music Albums Chart.
The platform also reports that Get Squared and Game Over re-enter the chart at numbers 173 and 182, respectively.
The chart movement comes amid renewed public attention on the latest dispute between Peter and Paul, whose relationship has been marked by repeated disagreements and reconciliations since P-Square first split in 2017.
The brothers have continued to air their differences publicly, with their latest exchanges generating reactions across social media and prompting fans to revisit some of the group’s most popular works.
P-Square, which comprised the twin brothers, rose to prominence in the early 2000s and became one of Nigeria’s most successful music groups, helping to popularize Nigerian pop music across Africa and beyond.

The duo built a strong following with songs including Bizzy Body, Do Me, Game Over, Personally and Alingo, while albums such as Get Squared and Game Over became important releases in their career.
Their first major split came in 2017 following disagreements involving financial matters, creative control and the role of their older brother and former manager, Jude Okoye. The separation saw Peter adopt the stage name Mr P, while Paul continued his solo career as Rudeboy.
After several years apart, the brothers reunited in November 2021, reviving P-Square and renewing hopes among fans that the group would remain together.
The reunion, however, proved temporary. In 2024, the brothers separated again, with both continuing their individual music careers.
The latest tensions have once again placed their relationship in the public spotlight, with social media users weighing in on the dispute and revisiting the group’s musical legacy.
Despite the repeated breakups, the renewed movement of P-Square’s older albums on Apple Music suggests that interest in the duo’s catalogue remains strong.
The resurgence also highlights the enduring appeal of the music created during the group’s peak years, as fans turn back to P-Square’s catalogue even as the brothers continue their separate careers.
