Nigerian music stars Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P of the defunct P-Square, have reconciled following a public fallout that trailed the 2023 general elections.
The feud, which played out openly on social media in 2023, was sparked by their opposing views on the presidential candidacy of Labour Party flagbearer, Peter Obi. Tensions rose after Seun Kuti described Obi as an “opportunist,” a comment that did not sit well with Okoye, a vocal supporter of the former Anambra State governor.
Peter Okoye responded sharply at the time, questioning Kuti’s relevance and success in the music industry, a remark that further escalated into a heated exchange between the two artistes. The back-and-forth drew widespread reactions online, with fans and political supporters taking sides.
Months after the dispute, both musicians have now put their differences behind them, signaling a return to cordial relations. While details of how the reconciliation came about were not made public, the development has been welcomed by fans who expressed relief that the long-running tension has finally been laid to rest.
The reconciliation underscores how deeply political differences during the 2023 elections affected relationships across entertainment, social, and public life in Nigeria, while also showing that bridges can still be rebuilt after heated divisions.
