A resurfaced interview of singer Peter Okoye, better known as Mr P, has rekindled public interest in his love story with wife Lola Okoye, arriving at a particularly charged moment given the singer's very public rift with his twin brother Paul and older brother Jude.
This is also after Peter recounted how his family maltreated Lola after the birth of their son.
The interview, originally recorded in 2021 with UK-based media personality Adesope Olajide, captures Peter walking through the unlikely chain of events that brought Lola into his life and, as he tells it, helped shape Psquare's early career trajectory.

How Lola Became a Psquare Fan
According to Peter, their former manager at the time knew Lola and gave her a copy of a Psquare CD. The twist?
The disc jammed inside her car's CD player, meaning she had no option but to listen to the group's music every time she got behind the wheel. Gradually, the songs won her over, and she evolved into a devoted fan of the group.
Her support went beyond casual listening. Lola began showing up at Psquare concerts and actively recommending the duo for bookings and gigs.
Peter noted that the brothers made it a habit to personally acknowledge her presence whenever she came to their shows, grateful for her enthusiasm.
Mr P's Search Around Anthony, Lagos
The situation took a complicated turn when the brothers parted ways with the manager who had originally introduced them to Lola.
The manager, apparently bitter about the split, refused to share her contact details, cutting off their link to her entirely.
Peter said he refused to accept that outcome. He launched a personal search around the Anthony area of Lagos, combing through the neighbourhood until he eventually tracked her down.
The two connected, and the rest, as he put it, became history.
Peter also described Lola as a destiny helper for Psquare, suggesting her early support and networking played a meaningful role in building momentum for the group during their rise.

Peter Okoye makes claims over reunion with twin brother
Legit.ng previously reported that Nigerian music star Peter Okoye alleged that P-Square’s reunion with his twin brother, Rudeboy, slowed his social media growth.
He explained that before the comeback, his accounts were booming, gaining up to 100,000 new followers daily and ranking alongside Davido and Don Jazzy in influence.
However, after the reunion, his follower growth dropped drastically, and he speculated that the comeback might have been the reason, though he admitted he wasn’t entirely certain.
