P-Square ~ A Band That Splited Twice.

P-Square is a music band owned by Nigerian twin brothers named Paul Okoye and Peter Okoye. The two brothers co-write and co-produce the songs they release. This music band was formed in 1997 by these two brothers. One of them dances very well while the other twin brother sings so well too. That was a perfect duo because one dances while the other sings on stage. As at 2000, this band became very popular and dominated the Nigerian music industry fully and the interesting thing about them which people liked was that they sing and dance so they were not just song entertainers but dance entertainers as well.

In 2005, these brothers released an album titled Get Squared which has twelve songs. Back then, people don’t use music charts here in Nigeria and it was more of buying music cassettes but they sold out all the furst set of music cassete they published then.
Let’s have fun with some of the songs they released in the Get Squared album.

Get Squared

They both portrayed what I wrote before which was the fact that they sing and dance. The duo was just so perfect and the energy they put in their songs and videos as well.

Bizzy Body

This particular song broke into the Nigerian music industry then and guys, it was lit. There is no one born in the nighties here in Nigeria who would not be familiar with this song.
It was basically a song for people who backbite and the purpose was to make sure that they mind their business.

Personally

The twin brothers brought out the Michael Jackson in them. They gave some crazy dance steps here and a lot of people gave them the accolade that they deserved. I can tell you that I can sing this song from the beginning to the very end.
I can tell that everyone liked that song including my dad and he could listen to it everyday.

For this song, I guess I should not give any comment. You can listen and see for yourself. They killed every aspect of this song. I said earlier that these brothers are good dancers but one of them dances well and they’ve got those who dance with them as well. Look at that dance, just like Michael Jackson. It’s amazing!

Sadly, these brothers broke up. From the rumors we all heard, they splited because of their family issues which has to do with their wives. They splited in 2017. They splited for four years and they got back in 2021. I’m sad to tell you that some other people already dominated the Nigerian music industry and people were no longer feeling the P-Square vibes.
Let’s check out some songs they released then.

Jaiye

They made this song and people were so happy that these brothers are back. They still weren’t feeling the real P-Square. I guess people were just away with genres of music.

These brothers still didn’t last. They came back in 2021 and splited again in 2023. Right now, one of them is known as Rudeboy while the other is Mr P. The both of them have not been able to gain the attention they used to in their former P-Square days.
