Renowned Nigerian artist Peter Okoye, one-half of the former P-Square duo, has responded to backlash from social media critics questioning his recent priorities.
The musician faced scrutiny after online users accused him of focusing on leisure rather than addressing Nigeria’s pressing socio-political challenges.
Taking to X, Peter shared a lighthearted post stating: “Abuja’s vibes are too sweet—I might not survive!”
His remark quickly drew reactions, with one user commenting: “You’re just chilling while the country burns? Wow.”
In a composed reply, Peter defended his stance.
He explained: “I’ve done my part—from election advocacy to End SARS. Right now, my focus is on my career and loved ones.
“Everyone has their own battles to fight.”
Peter’s response highlights a growing sentiment among celebrities—that activism doesn’t demand perpetual public engagement. Having previously championed causes like electoral awareness and police reform, he now prioritizes personal growth and family time.
His stance sparks dialogue about celebrity activism, personal boundaries, and the varied ways individuals can drive change. While some fans applaud his transparency, others debate whether public figures should maintain consistent political engagement.
The discussion continues online, with supporters respecting his choice to step back from constant national discourse while focusing on his well-being and artistic journey.
