MideBiography
Lola was born on 2 September 1972 in Nigeria. Legit.ng marked her 50th birthday on 2 September 2022. Her full name is Titilola Loretta Omotayo-Okoye.
Her father, Oladipo Omotayo, is Nigerian, and her mother is Russian. In a 2013 interview with PM News, Lola said, “My Dad is a Nigerian and my mother is a Russian.” Her mother insisted that the family speak Russian at home. Lola learned Yoruba at a boarding school in Ondo State and says she “got the best of both languages.”
She went to the University of Ife in 1990 to study Psychology, but strikes disrupted the school. Her father, who worked in the United States, encouraged her to continue there. She studied Theatre and Film at San Francisco University and wanted to focus on directing rather than acting.
Career
Lola began her working life at an IT company in the United States. She then spent about five years in advertising at FKG2 in Lagos. “I worked for an advertising company called FKG2 and spent about five years there,” she told PM News in 2013. Before she moved to Nigeria, she got a job as events manager at Econet. At FKG2 she rose to business development director, according to Legit.ng.
Today she is an executive director at Filco Drilling and Completion Services Limited, the Lagos oil and gas company her father founded. She also works as a brand endorser, and Legit.ng lists Ariba, Mielle Organics and Ben & Crosby among her partners.
Marriage to Peter Okoye
Lola met Peter through her job. FKG2 handled the British American Tobacco account, and P-Square worked with her team on a Benson & Hedges road show. She said she loves Peter because “he was never intimidated” by her success. She also said, “Having a relationship with a musician is one of the most challenging situations to be in. I thank God that we are managing it very well.”
The two dated for seven years. Peter proposed in August 2013 with a ring and a new Range Rover. Their traditional wedding took place in November 2013 at The Ark in Lekki, Lagos. Guests included Genevieve Nnaji, Kate Henshaw, Don Jazzy and footballer Emmanuel Adebayor, according to MyJoyOnline.
They have two children, a son and a daughter. In 2016, P-Square split after a disagreement over the role of the twins’ older brother, Jude Okoye, who was their manager.
Loss of Her Father
Oladipo Omotayo died on 16 December 2020. Peter announced the news on Twitter. Oladipo had founded Filco Drilling and Completion Services, the company where Lola now holds an executive role.
Controversies and Disputes
Lola has been part of the Okoye family dispute since the P-Square split, and it grew louder in 2026. Peter has been releasing a video series about the feud with his twin brother Paul and his elder brother Jude. Court cases between the brothers are still open.
On 21 March 2026, a post on X claimed that Peter’s late mother opposed the marriage because Lola is Yoruba. Peter called the post “unacceptable and deeply hurtful” and told its author to take it down and apologise or face legal action, Legit.ng reported.
On 22 April 2026, Peter said in a statement that no woman caused the feud. “No woman directed or advised anyone to steal from what I worked for over the years,” he wrote. He also moved his birthday celebration from 18 November, which he shares with Paul, to 30 November.
On 4 August 2026, in part five of his series, Peter said he once needed ₦30 million during the feud and asked Lola for it. She spoke to her father, who gave a bank draft for the full amount the next day.
Two days later, Legit.ng reported that Peter had shared a screenshot of an Instagram story he said Paul posted around their joint birthday. In it, Paul allegedly wrote that Lola still tries to be “manipulative” and “in control,” and that she does “evil things” privately. Paul also allegedly wrote that the brothers had not spoken in four years. Peter said the post led to abuse of Lola online. The screenshot has not been independently verified.
In a later episode, Peter described a family meeting at his home in Omole, Lagos, where he says his late mother told Lola the family wanted the relationship to end. He rejected claims that Lola had a bad relationship with his mother, saying, “When my mom was sick… Lola stayed with her in the hospital till midnight.” Vanguard reported on 7 August 2026 that Jude has denied some of the allegations. Paul answered on X the same day with a short message: “Unfortunately, you’re not here to defend yourself. Continue resting, Mum.”
None of these claims has been tested in court.
