French Band Performs P-Square’s Hit “Taste the Money” Tinubu [VIDEO]
A French band has brought back memories for fans of Nigerian music duo P-Square after performing their 2014 hit song “Taste the Money (Testimony)” to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his official visit to France.
The performance, which took place yesterday, has since gone viral, rekindling conversations about the group’s impact on the global music scene.
P-Square, comprised of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, were one of Africa’s most celebrated acts before their split in 2017. The breakup, reportedly due to financial disagreements, marked the end of an era, with “Taste the Money” standing out as one of their last major collaborations. Fans have often referred to the song as a symbol of their peak success and musical synergy.
Fan Reactions
The rendition by the French band was met with mixed emotions from fans. While many applauded the international recognition of P-Square’s music, others couldn’t help but lament the continued estrangement between the Okoye brothers.
“Since the brothers have refused to reconcile, bands will now do their jobs,” one fan commented, reflecting the frustration many feel over the duo’s unresolved differences.
Another fan described the performance as a bittersweet reminder of P-Square’s legacy, saying, “This French masterpiece shows the power of their music, even in their absence.”
Despite their split, P-Square’s influence remains undeniable, with hits like “Personally”, “No One Like You”, and “Do Me” continuing to dominate playlists across the continent. The group’s global appeal is further underscored by moments like this, where international acts pay homage to their work.
As the debate over a potential reunion persists, fans are left with performances like the French band’s as a reminder of what once was—and what could still be.

Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has sparked a debate over money and power in relationships after revealing how she would behave if she were financially richer than her male partner.
The “Bloody Samaritan” hitmaker shared her views on financial disparity in relationships while speaking on an episode of the Wahala podcast.

Ayra Starr said that if she dates a man who is not as wealthy as she is, she would naturally have control over him because of her financial advantage.
According to the singer, however, being richer than her partner would not mean he would be exempted from providing for her.
“If I date a man who I am richer than, I will control him. But even if I am richer, he will still be providing, and I won’t let him know I have a lot of money,” she said.
Ayra Starr also disclosed that she would deliberately keep the extent of her wealth away from such a partner, meaning he would not necessarily know that she has substantial financial resources.
Her comments have since generated mixed reactions from members of the public.
While some people agreed with the singer’s position, arguing that “it is a man’s job to provide” regardless of how much his female partner earns, others criticised her stance.
Critics particularly questioned her decision to hide her financial status from a future partner, arguing that openness about finances is an important part of a relationship.
The singer’s comments have consequently reignited conversations about financial power, control, transparency and traditional gender expectations in relationships.
The debate also comes amid growing conversations about changing gender roles, as more women attain financial independence and, in some cases, earn significantly more than their male partners.
Ayra Starr, who has established herself as one of Nigeria’s prominent Afrobeats artistes, continues to attract attention both for her music and her outspoken comments on issues surrounding relationships and society.
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, and her former husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly known as JJC Skillz, have sparked reactions online after they were spotted together in Paris, France, during a family holiday.

In a video shared by JJC Skillz on Snapchat on Wednesday, Akindele and her ex-husband were seen with their children at what appeared to be a shopping centre in Paris.

The former couple were also reportedly spotted at the Eiffel Tower, according to videos shared online.
Akindele also shared a video showing herself, JJC Skillz and their children at a PlayStation section of what appeared to be a mall in Paris.
The family outing comes after Akindele and her children travelled to the United Kingdom for a holiday following the completion of her latest cinema project, The Four.
Akindele and JJC Skillz got married in London in 2016 and welcomed twin boys in 2018.

“irreconcilable differences.”
Despite their separation, the former couple have continued to maintain a relationship centred around their children.
Their latest reunion in Paris has attracted attention online, with the videos showing the pair enjoying family moments with their children.
The Paris outing is also not the first time Akindele and JJC Skillz have been seen together publicly since their separation.
In 2023, the former couple were spotted together at the Lagos premiere of their movie, She Must Be Obeyed. They were seen dancing and embracing as they joined other celebrities at the event.
JJC Skillz also directed the movie.
