Mr P becomes the first half of P-Square to crack the Afrobeats Power Ranking

Peter Okoye’s solo journey just hit a major milestone. The artist known as Mr P has landed at No. 49 on NotJustOk’s Afrobeats Power Ranking for June 2026, making history as the first half of the iconic P-Square duo to secure a spot on the influential monthly chart.

This achievement carries special weight considering the Okoye brothers’ complicated legacy. P-Square dominated African pop music for over ten years before the twins went their separate ways, with Peter becoming Mr P and his brother Paul continuing as Rudeboy. Despite their massive success as a unit, neither brother had managed to break into the Power Ranking as solo artists—until now. The chart measures artist impact through streaming numbers, new releases, and overall industry influence, making Mr P’s debut a significant validation of his individual artistry outside the P-Square brand.

Mr P’s placement puts him in competitive company. He sits directly above Pheelz at No. 50, with Famous Pluto at No. 48 and Tiwa Savage at No. 44 ahead of him. The June 2026 rankings continue to showcase Afrobeats’ biggest names at the top, with Burna Boy leading the pack alongside Asake, Tems, Wizkid, Ayra Starr, and Tyla in the top ten. The timing of Mr P’s chart entry aligns perfectly with the buzz around his latest single “I Can’t Look Away,” which has been gaining momentum as a potential song of the summer.

For an artist who spent years as one half of a legendary duo, this solo recognition represents more than just chart placement—it’s proof that Mr P has successfully carved out his own lane in the ever-evolving Afrobeats landscape.
