“Una Dey Vex Like Say I Cancel Christmas” – Peter Okoye Slams Critics Over Birthday Celebration Shift

 

OpenLife reports that Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P and one half of the defunct music duo P-Square, has responded to the backlash surrounding his decision to shift the date of his birthday celebration.

The singer, who recently faced criticism online over the change, expressed frustration at what he described as an overreaction from the public.

According to him, the issue was being treated with unnecessary intensity, despite being a personal decision.

Addressing the controversy directly, Mr P shared a strongly worded response to his critics, saying:

“Una dey vex like say I cancel Christmas?
Na my birthday date I move… no be your own, why e dey pain you?
Even Jesus Christ December 25th date sef, people still dey debate am
Why cry more than the bereaved? Only in Nigeria…
Insult no dey reduce success. Who don make am, don make am! Know that and know peace”.

He further implied that the level of attention given to the matter reflects misplaced priorities, noting that there are more serious issues deserving public concern.

The statement has since triggered mixed reactions across social media, with some users agreeing with his perspective, while others argued that public figures should expect scrutiny over their personal choices.

The discussion continues to generate debate online as fans and critics weigh in on the singer’s comments.
