Bragging about your kids speaking flawless French, then dunking on your native tongue in the same thread. Bold strategy. Mr P, born Peter Okoye and formerly of P-Square, lit the fuse while chatting with fans on X during a family trip through Paris.
It started innocently enough. He posted about how effortlessly his children handle French, floating the idea of buying a place in the city.
Then a follower asked whether the kids speak Igbo as well, and the reply is what torched everything. He fired back in pidgin, asking what Nigerian languages have ever done for anybody, telling the fan to drop the subject entirely.
The backlash arrived fast. Commenters piled on, accusing him of turning his back on where he comes from and treating his heritage like dead weight.
Critics also flagged the obvious contradiction. Dude built a whole catalog by weaving Igbo and Yoruba into his biggest records, using those exact languages to lock in with listeners and turn P-Square into a household name.
