Actor Charles Okocha has weighed in on the long-running rift between music stars Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye, proposing a boxing match as an unconventional way to resolve their differences.
Speaking during an interview on Max FM, Okocha said the public exchanges between the brothers, formerly known as the P-Square duo, had dragged on for too long and should come to an end.
He suggested that a controlled boxing bout would allow Peter, popularly known as Mr P, and Paul, known as Rudeboy, to settle their issues while giving fans an entertaining spectacle.
“Rude Boy and Mr. P should get into the ring. Let them get into the ring and settle all these, you know, coming out, talking, talking. It is becoming too much. It makes no sense at their age,” he said.
Okocha added that such an event could transform the ongoing feud into entertainment, arguing that many fans would be willing to pay to watch the brothers face off in a sporting contest rather than continue exchanging words publicly.
“This one will come on and say, okay, this is what I do. They should just do whatever it is to squash their beef. It makes no sense. If it’s possible to squash it out in the ring, no problem. It’s called entertainment because a lot of people will buy tickets, people will come watch. That’s why it’s called entertainment. There’s no room for animosity or hate,” he said.
The actor also maintained that personal disputes should not be played out on social media. According to him, disagreements are inevitable, but they should be resolved privately instead of becoming public spectacles.
“You think we don’t have issues? But have you ever seen me come out on social media? If I can’t squash it privately, why would I bring it out for people who don’t know how we live our lives? It makes no sense,” Okocha stated.
He urged the brothers to find a lasting resolution to their conflict, whether behind closed doors or through a public but controlled event, stressing that family disagreements should not continually draw public attention.
Peter and Paul Okoye officially split P-Square in 2017 after reported disagreements and have since pursued separate music careers. Despite occasional reconciliation efforts, the brothers have continued to exchange public remarks over the years, keeping their feud in the spotlight.
