P-Square family feud escalates with new accusations and public reactions
Peter Okoye (Mr P) has released a series of video statements alleging that his elder brother Jude Okoye and twin brother Paul Okoye pressured his wife Lola Omotayo to abort their first child and mistreated her during a family meeting. He claims the late mother Josephine Okoye and other siblings forced Lola to leave, even insulting the newborn. Paul Okoye responded on X, defending their late mother without directly addressing the allegations.
Elder brother Henry Okoye has repeatedly accused Jude of being the root of the family rift, saying he was the first sponsor and bodyguard for the twins, was promised a 20 % share of performances, and was never paid. He alleges Jude’s management and character caused the brothers to distance themselves from the rest of the family.
Other Nigerian figures have weighed in: Collins Ajereh, Don Jazzy’s father, posted prayers for reconciliation; social commentator VDM claimed Peter told him Jude had scammed rapper Phyno, a claim Phyno denied; actors and celebrities have suggested the brothers settle their dispute in a boxing match. The feud continues to dominate Nigerian entertainment headlines, with fans and fellow artists publicly supporting various sides.
