REUNITING HAS HELPED IMPROVE MONEY MANAGEMENT – PETER AND PAUL OKOYE (PSQUARE)
By Adeniyi Onaara
Paul claimed that as a solo artist, jewelry was where he spent the most of his money.
The Psquare brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, talked about how their reunion has changed their spending patterns.
In a recent interview with Larry Madowo for CNN’s African Voices Changemakers, the vocalists discussed this.
The singing group disbanded in 2017 due to disagreements about Jude Okoye, their older brother, serving as manager. They did, however, get back together in 2021, and later that year, they played their first headlining show.
Peter had previously criticized fans for frequently putting them in competition with one another. Paul, however, asserted that family issues, not music, were the root of their problems.
The twins disclosed that instead of lavishly splurging on luxury products, they now give investing in their enterprises top priority.
If you are familiar with anything that occurs in a group, what happened is the same. The fact that we are humans doesn’t change (even though we are brothers). Regardless of how one chooses to view it, the fans were disappointed, but we are all human. It’s typical,” Peter remarked.
“God brought us back together; we didn’t choose it. It returned to normal. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for the wind of change. Always focus on the positive aspects of events and ignore the unpleasant ones when they occur. I made that statement because I am becoming more tenacious.
Peter noted that he “learnt a lot from the solo thing I started doing a lot. I own a lot of company. In the next year or two, I wanna own the biggest casino in Africa. All of us are into real estate.”
“Now that we are back together, as more money is coming in I know where I am putting it. But then it was just wristwatches, chains. But now it is different,” Paul added.
