Afrobeats singer Peter Okoye has explained why he now celebrates his birthday on November 30 instead of his actual birth date, November 18.

Speaking on the Capital XTRA Podcast, the former P-Square member said November 18 had become a difficult day for him over the past 17 years.

Peter said the discomfort stemmed from gossip and tension that often followed their shared birthday celebrations with his twin brother, Paul Okoye.

According to him, some people would visit Paul’s residence to discuss matters concerning him before coming to his side.

“I changed my birthday from November 18th to November 30th because for 16-17 years, it’s been the worst day of my life. People go to Paul’s house to gossip about me before coming to my side. I wish I could change it on my documents and passport,” he said.

Peter’s revelation came amid the long-running feud between the twin brothers, who first split in 2017, reunited in 2021, and parted ways again in 2024.
