Wizkid, Davido, others wouldn’t have dominated afrobeats if we didn’t split – P-Square

The duo of Paul and Peter Okoye of P-Square fame have claimed that if it wasn’t for their separation, the likes of Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy and others wouldn’t have dominated the afrobeats music scene.

The twin musical duo stated that they dominated the Nigerian and African music scene for nearly 14 years until they briefly disbanded in 2016, giving way for others to shine.

P-Square appeared on a recent episode of The 77 Podcast.

Reacting to claims that afrobeats gained global recognition when they were apart, Peter said, “Says who? They never said that.”

Paul added, “Let me tell you something, I’ve been hearing that. Even if they put it that way, it means some way God has his own way. If we were there [together in the music industry] those people [dominant music stars] there would have never been light for them. And don’t forget, we’ve dominated the [Nigerian] music industry for a long time. We held it down for nearly 13,14 years.”
