In a world where culture often divides, Prince Thompson Iyamu — known globally as P Tee Money — stands as living proof that heritage can unite.
The British-Nigerian DJ, producer, actor, and royal creative embodies two remarkable legacies: the ancient power of the Edo Kingdom and the spiritual strength of Jewish ancestry — a fusion that has shaped one of the most captivating modern figures in entertainment today.
A Royal Lineage Meets a Sacred Heritage
On his father’s side, P Tee Money descends from the historic Benin royal family, a bloodline that includes the legendary Oba Akenzua II and the current monarch, Oba Ewuare II.
But his mother’s lineage adds an equally compelling layer — one of intellect, grace, and devotion.
His late mother, Evelyn Hannah Oba, was herself a woman of rare beauty and spirit.
Born to Shoshana, a proud Jewish woman, and a wealthy Nigerian businessman from Asaba in Delta State, Evelyn carried both faith and fortune in her veins.
She was the heart of two worlds — Jewish and African — and her son inherited that harmony.
“My mother gave me my name, P Tee Money,” he says with quiet pride. “P for Prince, Tee for Thompson, and Money for Wealth — because she always believed I was destined to prosper and uplift others through my gift.”
The Name “Amram” — A Blessing from the Past
Among his late uncles from his mother’s side, he was affectionately called “Amram,” a name rich in Jewish tradition meaning friend of the Most High.
It was more than a nickname — it was a prophecy.
Even as a child, “Amram” carried himself with calm wisdom, a deep sense of destiny that everyone around him could feel.
That name, whispered by family elders, now echoes in the man the world knows as P Tee Money.
A Star Who Defies Borders
Half Jewish, half African — and fully global — P Tee Money is often compared to Drake, another artist who bridges cultures with unmatched ease.
Like Drake, he merges emotional depth with rhythmic innovation, but his story runs even deeper: a royal son carrying two ancient worlds on his shoulders and turning them into melody, motion, and magic.
His music — a daring mix of Afro-beat, EDM, pop, and house — mirrors his DNA: rich, layered, and alive with rhythm.
His futuristic AI-powered visuals, especially the groundbreaking “Lifestyle” video, have set new standards in African music production and earned him recognition on platforms like ITV, YouTube, and global networks.
The Legacy of Evelyn Hannah Oba
Behind the fame, P Tee Money remains a man devoted to his mother’s memory.
Evelyn Hannah Oba was not only his guiding light but his inspiration to stay humble, spiritual, and generous.
Her Jewish wisdom, her African strength, and her father’s entrepreneurial drive still live within him — shaping the compassionate, visionary artist the world sees today.
“Everything I am comes from her,” he says softly. “The balance of faith, royalty, and purpose — that’s all my mother.”
The Prince Who Unites Worlds
From royal palaces in Benin to the dance floors of London, from the prayers of his Jewish grandmother Shoshana to the melodies that shake global charts, P Tee Money has become a symbol of cultural unity and modern excellence.
He stands not only as an entertainer but as a bridge — between past and future, faith and rhythm, Africa and Jerusalem.
Half-Jewish. Half-African. 100 percent extraordinary.
P Tee Money isn’t just making music — he’s making history.
