Language Saga: Peter Psquare apologises, calls out twin brother, Rudeboy

Nigerian musician Peter 'Mr P' Okoye, part of the disbanded music duo Psquare, apologized for controversial remarks about Nigerian languages after they sparked backlash on social media. The controversy began when Mr P tweeted about his children speaking fluent French, prompting questions about their knowledge of Igbo. Social media users criticized him for undermining Nigerian languages and cultural heritage, despite some defending his parenting choices. In response, Mr P clarified that his comments were not meant to attack any specific language or culture, emphasizing that he referred to Nigeria's diverse linguistic landscape rather than targeting Igbo. He also accused his twin brother, Rudeboy, of misrepresenting his statements to harm his reputation, adding to an ongoing family feud involving financial disputes and legal battles.
