Jude Okoye, the long-time manager of the now-defunct P-Square group, has finally addressed the ongoing controversy involving his brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye.
The rift between the twin brothers, who once dominated the African music scene as P-Square, has once again come to the forefront following recent accusations and public statements.
The latest dispute became public when Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, disclosed in an interview that P-Square had broken up again.
He further accused his twin brother, Peter Okoye, known as Mr. P, of involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in family matters, alleging fraudulent activities against both him and their elder brother, Jude Okoye.
In response, Peter Okoye penned an open letter to Paul, accusing him of damaging his reputation and alleging that Paul and Jude had conspired to defraud him.
The public fallout has reignited concerns about the future of P-Square and the relationship between the brothers.
Jude Okoye’s recent statements are his first public comments since the dispute escalated, marking a significant moment in the ongoing saga of one of Africa’s most famous musical families.
As the controversy continues to unfold, fans and observers are left wondering if there will ever be reconciliation between the Okoye brothers or if the rift is now too deep to mend.
Reacting via an Instagram live session on Saturday, Jude Okoye rubbished Peter’s fraud allegations, claiming he “twisted” it to make it “look fraudulent.”
He further claimed that Peter involved him in the controversy because he knew that people would always blame him for not settling the dispute between his younger brothers.
He said: “These people [Peter and Paul] have children that are teenagers. If they were in America, they would be grandfathers now.
Why is it that Peter always involved me in their fight? It’s because he had that impression that people always called Jude, the elder one, [to say] ‘go and settle your brothers, go and put your family in order’.
“What do you mean by go and put your family in order? My family is in order. Let them put their family in order. If they are doing business together, let them put it in order. I have tried to the point I sacrificed myself.”
