Former P-Square singer Peter Okoye, known as Mr P, has released the fifth installment of his video series, making fresh allegations in his ongoing dispute with his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye. The new video, shared on Instagram, features claims that Jude once threatened to shoot him during a disagreement over property ownership in the United States.
Alleged Threat Over US Property
In the video, Peter recounted an incident where he questioned the planned sale of a property in the US, prompting Jude to allegedly threaten his life. He further claimed that he was later presented with documents that would transfer his ownership rights to Jude's wife, which he refused to sign. Peter asserted that such threats were not isolated, saying Jude repeatedly threatened him over the years, with one incident captured on video and another referenced in the official announcement of P-Square's 2017 breakup.
Debunking Investment Claims
Peter also addressed long-standing claims that Jude invested in P-Square at the group's inception, which was said to justify their equal-split agreement. He dismissed this narrative, stating that all three brothers graduated from university around the same time, during which Jude was unemployed. According to Peter, it was their eldest brother who provided the financial backing for the P-Square dream, and he added that this brother is now 'somewhere' because of Jude's actions.
The singer began his video with a clip from the highly publicized 2015 altercation, which was exclusively shared by Linda Ikeji's Blog in 2017. He emphasized that his decision to speak out is not to garner public sympathy but to tell his side of the story as the family feud continues to unfold publicly.
Background of P-Square's Rise and Fall
P-Square, consisting of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, dominated the African music scene for over a decade, delivering hits that earned them continental fame. However, internal disagreements led to their initial split in 2017. The duo reunited in 2021, much to the delight of fans, but disbanded again in 2024 amid renewed conflicts over finances and management.
The ongoing dispute has played out in public, with Peter using video series to present his perspective. This latest release adds another layer to a saga that has captivated fans and observers, highlighting the complexities of family and business relationships in the entertainment industry.
