Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye reconcile after political dispute
Nigerian music stars Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye, formerly of P-Square, have ended their public feud, settling disagreements that began over political comments in 2023.
The reconciliation was confirmed after the duo was seen hugging at a Lagos club, signaling the end of their social media exchanges.
Background of the feud
The dispute started when Seun Kuti referred to Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi as an “opportunist” during the 2023 elections. Peter Okoye responded by questioning Kuti’s relevance and success as an artist, escalating into a widely publicized online argument.
Moving past politics
Speaking at the reconciliation, Kuti said, “We are artistes, we can’t be fighting over politicians,” a sentiment Okoye echoed as they shook hands. The gesture marks a return to cordial relations between the musicians, emphasizing a separation of political views from professional and personal relationships.
