Nigerian singer Peter Okoye has opened up about personal struggles and the toll of family issues in a heartfelt Instagram post shared on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
Nigerian singer and former P-Square member Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has taken to social media to share a deeply personal message reflecting on family, loyalty, and mental health.
On Tuesday, April 15, 2025, Mr P posted on his Instagram Story, opening up about the emotional toll of unresolved family issues. He wrote: “Don’t let ‘family’ be the reason you’re drowning in silence. I did – for over 20 years plus. And it almost cost me everything. But now I know better – love doesn’t manipulate, loyalty doesn’t betray, and family does not steal from you. Family that steals and breaks you isn’t family at all. Real family doesn’t drain you, shame you, discriminate against you, or ignore your pain. My sanity matters. My mental health is a priority. IF IT COSTS MY MENTAL HEALTH, THEN IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE.”
The post comes shortly after Mr P testified in court in connection with an ongoing legal case involving his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye. While he did not mention any names directly in the post, fans have linked the message to the current situation, which has seen the family entangled in a high-profile legal and financial dispute.
Mr P’s message has resonated with many on social media, with supporters commending his openness about mental health and the importance of setting boundaries, even within family dynamics.
The artist, known for speaking candidly on personal issues, continues to advocate for self-care and emotional well-being, using his platform to shed light on the challenges of fame, family, and personal growth.
