Mr P becomes the first half of P-Square to crack the Afrobeats Power Ranking
Mr P Takes Centre Stage You know, I've been thinking, and I think Mr P is finally getting the recognition he deserves as a solo artist.

You know, I've been thinking, and I think Mr P is finally getting the recognition he deserves as a solo artist. I mean, we all know the Okoye twins, Peter and Paul, as P-Square, the duo that dominated African pop for over a decade. But, as we know, all good things come to an end, and the twins parted ways to pursue solo careers. And, let's be honest, Mr P has been working on building his identity as a solo artist, slowly but surely.
For the first time in Afrobeats history, a P-Square member has cracked the Afrobeats Power Ranking, and it's Mr P, debuting at No. 49 on the June 2026 edition of the list. This is more than just a number; it's a milestone for the singer, marking a shift in his career trajectory. The Afrobeats Power Ranking is the ultimate barometer for who's driving the sound at any given moment, and Mr P's arrival on the list is evidence of his hard work and dedication. The chart tracks the biggest names in Afrobeats by streams, releases, and overall industry impact, so for Mr P to make the cut is no small feat.
As we know, neither brother had previously cracked the Afrobeats Power Ranking as a solo act, making this a personal win for Mr P. And, let's be real, it's about time. The Okoye twins ruled African pop for over a decade as P-Square, and their legacy lives on through their solo careers. Mr P's entry on the ranking marks a significant step in his post-P-Square run, and it's exciting to see him finally cutting through in a space that has slowly become the song of the summer contender, thanks to his newest drop, I Can't Look Away.
So, what does Mr P's entry on the Afrobeats Power Ranking mean for his career? It means he's finally getting the recognition he deserves as a solo artist. It means his hard work and dedication are paying off. And, it means he's cementing his place in the Afrobeats industry as. As I see it, Mr P's rise to fame is evidence of the fact that even after a decade of dominating the scene as P-Square, there's still so much to explore and create. And, I, for one, am excited to see what's next for him.
With Mr P's entry on the Afrobeats Power Ranking, it's clear that the Okoye twins are still leaving their mark on the industry, even after parting ways. And, who knows, maybe Rudeboy will be next to crack the ranking.
