P-Square Albums Surge on Apple Music Amid Okoye Brothers' Rift

P-Square's Resurgence on Apple Music

The music catalogue of defunct P-Square group has recorded a resurgence on Nigeria's Apple Music Albums Chart, rising 87 places. According to music chart platform Album Talks HQ, the duo's compilation album, Best of P-Square, climbed to number 100 on the Nigeria Apple Music Albums Chart.

The renewed interest in the group's catalogue comes amid renewed public attention surrounding the latest war of words between the P-Square duo-Peter and Paul. Fans have been revisiting some of their most popular works, drawing attention to timeless hits like 'Bizzy Body', 'Do Me,' 'Game Over' and 'Alingo'.

P-Square rose to prominence in the early 2000s and became one of Africa's biggest music groups. The duo eventually split in 2017 over alleged financial disputes, creative control, and the role of their older brother and manager, Jude Okoye.

However, the brothers' current feud has only amplified their music's popularity, with many nostalgic listeners revisiting their old hits and experiencing a renewed appreciation for their legacy.

The brothers' music, which dominated the airwaves in the early 2000s, has a significant following in West Africa, particularly in Nigeria and Ghana. Their songs have been praised for their catchy melodies and lyrics that often addressed themes of love, relationships, and life.
