Peter Okoye Shares Emotional Letter to His Younger Self Amid Ongoing Family Dispute
Nigerian singer and former P-Square member Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P, has sparked widespread reactions following a heartfelt message in which he reflects on trust, family, and loyalty.
The 43-year-old artist was a guest on a recent show where he was asked to write a letter to his younger self. Drawing from his life experiences, Mr P offered poignant advice centered on self-belief and the often complex nature of family relationships.
In a particularly striking line, he wrote:
“Dear young Peter, don’t trust too much. Believe in yourself. Nobody loves you when you love yourself. Family is blood related, but real family is loyalty.”

His deeply personal words have resonated widely online, especially given the ongoing tensions within the Okoye family. Just weeks ago, Peter made headlines after filing a ₦1.3 billion lawsuit against his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, over alleged financial impropriety. He has since taken the witness stand in the case, a move that has further fueled public interest in the family’s long-standing feud.
The emotional letter and the legal battle have reignited conversations about loyalty versus blood ties, especially in high-profile families navigating fame and business.
Fans and followers have taken to social media to express their views, with many sympathizing with Mr P’s perspective, while others hope for eventual reconciliation between the estranged brothers.
As one half of the now-defunct iconic duo P-Square, Peter Okoye remains a key figure in Nigerian music, and his candid reflections offer a rare glimpse into the emotional toll of fame, family, and personal growth.
