The Prodigal

The Prodigal

Peter Okoye—a veteran of P-Square, the pop duo he started with his twin brother, Paul— stepped into his solo career with tracks like “Cool It Down,” “My Way,” and “Ebeano,” which scooped up multiple awards. Alongside his lifestyle, sports, and entertainment businesses, he cements his solo music career with the 2021 release of his debut album, The Prodigal. Blending dancehall with pop and classic R&B with Afrobeats, the album features collaborations with Tiwa Sawage (“I Do”) and Singah (“Lola Diego”)—and even manages to bring together Teni and Simi with American R&B star Tamar Braxton (“I Love You”). When discussing “Follow My Lead” (which features a guest spot by Wande Coal), he reveals his philosophy: “Through my journey in life and as an artist, every battle I've won, big and small, has been because I followed my instincts,” Okoye tells Apple Music. “When you know exactly who you are and what you're capable of, you learn to trust yourself. And that has made it easy for me to follow my own lead.”
