Peter Okoye Slams Age-Based Retirement Demands in Afrobeats

Peter Okoye (Mr P) hit back at fans demanding he retire from music over age concerns, insisting Afrobeats isn't exclusively for younger artists. The PSQUARE solo artist defended his musical abilities, saying 'Put some respect on the name Peter Okoye aka Mr P' and accused critics of being disappointed fans who can't accept the group's split.

Mr P told critics to 'Respect our decision and move on,' calling his solo career 'one of the best things that has ever happened' to him. He recently signed a multi-million-dollar five-year deal with an international distribution company covering three albums, declaring 'Nobody can stop this movement. The train has left the station. It's Mr P Forever!'

This exchange highlights the age conversation in Afrobeats, where established artists face pressure to make way for new generation. With his international deal and declaration of artistic longevity, Mr P positions himself as continuing his musical journey despite age criticism. Should artists have age limits in Afrobeats, or does talent and experience trump generational expectations?
