Nigerian singer May D has posted a cryptic 'God is good' message on Instagram, widely interpreted as a reaction to the renewed controversy surrounding his former boss, music executive Jude Okoye. The post, featuring a meme of a man watching from a distance, comes as Peter Okoye, Jude's younger brother and former P-Square member, levels fresh allegations of financial misconduct.
May D's Cryptic Post and Its Timing
May D, born Akinmayokun Awodumila, shared the Instagram Story without naming Jude directly, but the timing has sparked widespread speculation. The meme showed a man observing from afar, with the caption 'God is good!!' – a phrase many fans see as a quiet acknowledgment of Jude's mounting legal and public troubles.
May D's connection to Jude dates back over a decade, having been signed to Jude's Square Records before their business relationship ended in 2012. In 2025, during Jude's public dispute with former artiste Cynthia Morgan, May D declined to comment, stating he had made peace with his past. His latest post, however, marks a notable shift, with commentators reading it as a departure from his earlier restraint.
Peter Okoye's Allegations Against Jude and Paul Okoye
The backlash stems from a tell-all video series by Peter Okoye, who has accused Jude and their brother Paul Okoye of secretly setting up an offshore company, Northside Music, without his knowledge. Peter claims he was removed as a signatory on the company's bank account and that over $1.2 million in royalties were diverted.
Peter also alleged that Jude and Paul recently served him a legal letter attempting to prevent him from performing P-Square songs, with Jude asserting sole ownership of the group's name. These accusations have reignited public scrutiny of the Okoye brothers' financial dealings.
Jude Okoye's Denial and Legal Response
Jude has firmly denied all allegations. In a video response, he stated that all royalty payments were properly documented and carried out according to existing agreements, including a 2016 payment that Peter himself allegedly instructed to be split. He also denied removing Peter as a signatory, pointing to bank mandate documents already presented in court.
The legal case involving Jude and Northside Music Limited began in March 2025, with charges relating to the alleged conversion of over $767,000 in royalty payments. Both have pleaded not guilty. The case remains ongoing, with a June 2026 hearing adjourned after Peter failed to appear for cross-examination. Notably, the EFCC has informed the court it lacks evidence to support Peter's specific claim that Jude and Paul fraudulently withdrew $800,000, though the broader case continues.
Public Reaction and May D's Silence
May D's post has generated mixed reactions online. Some fans praised him for subtly supporting Peter, while others urged caution, noting the ongoing legal proceedings. The singer has not elaborated on his post, leaving room for interpretation.
This episode adds another layer to the long-running saga of P-Square's breakup and the Okoye brothers' disputes, which have captivated Nigerian audiences for years. As the EFCC case unfolds, the public remains divided, with many awaiting the court's final verdict.
