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

Mr P Makes History as First P-Square Member to Land on Afrobeats Power Ranking

Peter Okoye has just achieved something neither he nor his twin brother managed during their solo journeys—a spot on the prestigious Afrobeats Power Ranking. The artist known as Mr P landed at No. 49 on NotJustOk’s June 2026 chart, making him the first half of the iconic P-Square duo to break into the influential monthly list that measures streaming power, release momentum, and overall cultural impact in the Afrobeats space.

This is no small feat for an artist who spent over a decade dominating African pop as part of one of the continent’s most successful groups. Since P-Square’s split, both Peter and his brother Rudeboy have worked tirelessly to establish their solo identities, but the Power Ranking had eluded them—until now. Mr P’s June debut places him strategically between Pheelz at No. 50 and Famous Pluto at No. 48, with Tiwa Savage holding strong at No. 44. Meanwhile, the top tier remains stacked with heavyweights like Burna Boy, Asake, Tems, Wizkid, Ayra Starr, and Tyla commanding the top 10 slots.

The timing couldn’t be better. Mr P’s latest release, I Can’t Look Away, has been steadily building momentum and positioning itself as a potential song of the summer. For an artist who’s been grinding to prove his solo viability in an increasingly competitive landscape, this ranking entry serves as validation that his work is resonating beyond nostalgia. It’s not just about making the list—it’s about cementing a legacy that exists independently of the group that made him famous.
