Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye has bagged an honorary doctorate degree from ESCAE University in Benin Republic.
The music star broke the news in a post via an Instagram post. He also made the post with pictures of himself adorned in a graduation gown, while flaunting the certificate given to him by the institution.
According to the 39-year-old songwriter, the recognition comes as a result of his “immense contribution to the growth of the entertainment industry in Africa”.
“Dear Team P! It’s a great honor to be decorated by a distinguished educational institution, who have recognized my contribution to dance and music as well as my support for the youth in the entertainment industry. Thank you @escaeakpakpacampus and @escaeunibenin for this honor”.
Nonetheless, the institution also took to its social media page to congratulate the musician.
That notwithstanding, his fans and other celebrities have congratulated him for bagging the honorary degree. According to some of them, he is proving himself to be one of the greatest entertainers in Africa.
Also, some averred that Mr.P is doing well for himself. According to them, they will start calling him “Dr. Mr.P”. Some reactions to his post read:
Peter Okoye is getting richer after breaking from his twin brother
Well, it seems Peter Okoye is making very notable strides in all aspects of his life. It can be recalled that recently he launched his clothing line and he also launched his wine company.
Therefore, it doesn’t come as a surprise when he recently stated that he is “surviving alone and is getting richer”.
According to some reports, Peter Okoye was throwing shades at his “perceived enemies” who thought he wasn’t going to survive after splitting from his twin brother, Paul, and their group.
The former member of the defunct group, Psquare, made this known via his Facebook page on Wednesday, June 23, 2021.
“Team P! What were they thinking? That I wasn’t going to survive Alone? They just can’t stand the fact that I am Richer now and doing well for myself. Pained! And this post is for them and them alone! Just Watch them referring this post to my family as usual! Odes! Watch them start preaching!
“Like I said! Haters pls comment and identify yourself on this post and my management will separate you from my true fans. The Blocking also includes the people that liked and support the comment! You must not like my doings! So, feel free to unfollow and unlike this my page! Or better still identify yourself so that, we can Block you! Have a very good morning!”
PSquare falls apart
The Okoye brothers have been at loggerheads with each other since 2017 and it is safe to say it has been one of the biggest celebrity fights recorded in the Nigerian music industry.
Rumors of their split first broke in 2015 which was later put to rest by Peter. By 2017, it became apparent that the twin brothers were no longer compatible and they went their separate ways.
This did not, however, happen without the brothers dragging each other on social media.
From Instagram shade to Twitter slamming and even the viral video of the brothers almost exchanging blows at their lawyer’s office to insulting each other, the Okoye brothers indeed made the headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2017.
