Former P-Square member Peter Okoye, popularly known by his stage name Mr P, has released the fifth installment of a multi-part social media video series detailing serious allegations against his elder brother and former group manager, Jude Okoye. The latest publication adds a volatile dimension to an already contentious financial and administrative dispute that has split the famous Nigerian musical group, providing fans and observers with deeper insights into the internal dynamics that led to the permanent breakdown of their professional and personal relationships.
In the video, Peter claimed that Jude once threatened to shoot him during an intense argument regarding a property owned by the brothers in the United States. According to the singer, the violent confrontation erupted after he began questioning plans surrounding the proposed sale of the real estate asset. He further alleged that following the heated altercation, he was presented with formal documentation intended to relinquish his legal ownership rights over the property and transfer them to Jude's wife. Peter emphasized that he recognized the nature of the paperwork immediately and firmly refused to sign away his stakes in the asset.
Continuing his claims, the musician stated that the gun threat was not an isolated occurrence, maintaining that Jude had repeatedly made threats against his life over the course of several years. Peter pointed out that one of these incidents was recorded on video, while another instance of life-threatening intimidation was directly cited in his official 2017 letter that announced his departure from P-Square. He asserted that these patterns of behavior were part of a long-standing environment of coercion that ultimately made continued collaboration impossible.
Peter also took steps in the video to challenge long-standing public narratives regarding the financial foundations of P-Square's early career. He debunked widespread claims that Jude provided the initial capital and seed funding for the group, an assumption that had served as the historical justification for an equal three-way revenue split between the twin brothers and their manager. The singer explained that all three brothers graduated from university around the same period, during which Jude was unemployed and not in a financial position to bankroll recording sessions, promotional tours, or music video productions.
Furthermore, Peter revealed that the only family member who provided genuine financial support for the P-Square dream in its foundational stage was their eldest brother. He alleged that this eldest sibling has since been sidelined and alienated within the family structure as a direct result of Jude's actions. By sharing these details, Peter aimed to demonstrate that the original financial structure of the group was built upon misrepresentations that disadvantaged the performing artists over many years.
To set the stage for his disclosures, Peter opened the video with archived footage from a heavily publicized 2015 altercation inside a lawyer's office, a video that first surfaced online in 2017 following the group's initial public split. Addressing viewers directly, the singer maintained that his decision to release these video installments is not an attempt to garner public sympathy or wage an emotional campaign. Instead, he stated that he feels compelled to present his side of the story clearly as legal probes and public discussions surrounding the family business continue to unfold.
The ongoing feud involves broader financial disputes that recently led to an investigation by anti-graft agencies into alleged unauthorized fund diversions and management irregularities within the group's administrative umbrella. P-Square, composed of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye alongside Jude as manager, stood as one of the most successful pop acts in African music history for over a decade, releasing hit projects that dominated charts across the continent. Following a highly publicized initial breakup in 2017, the brothers managed to reconcile in 2021 before permanently disbanding again in 2024 due to unresolved friction surrounding financial oversight, digital asset control, and catalog monetization.
