The eldest brother of the P-Square twins, Henry Okoye, has publicly blamed their brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, for the family's long-running discord. In an interview with Nollyserve published on YouTube on Friday, Henry claimed that Jude's actions were the root cause of years of division within the Okoye household. He also revealed that their late mother had foreseen the trouble Jude would bring.
Henry Okoye's Role in P-Square's Early Career
Henry was emphatic that the twins' rise owed far more to the wider family than to Jude, who he said only stepped in after Peter and Paul had already begun gaining traction. According to Henry, their mother had actually cautioned against bringing Jude on as manager, warning the family about his character.
Once Jude took over management, Henry alleged, the twins gradually withdrew from their relatives. "What happened at last is that they started running away from everybody. We never knew that it was Jude that was causing the problem," he said.
Unfulfilled Promises and Family Sacrifices
Henry disclosed that he had been promised a 20% cut from each show in recognition of his early sacrifices, a commitment he says was never honoured. "Before I knew it, Jude said, 'What do I mean by 20%? For what?' He said they are flying all around, that what if they have a plane crash, I'll be enjoying myself," Henry recounted. He added that Jude also pushed out their immediate elder brother Tony, who had been one of the group's dancers.
Henry also highlighted his own contributions: "When they started this music, they were looking for sponsors. They didn't get a sponsor. When I started sponsoring them, Jude was not there. We would travel from state to state for music. They used my car for flyers. I did bodyguard with them. We were supporting them as a family, but we knew it was Peter and Paul that owned it."
Doubts Over P-Square Reconciliation
Henry painted a picture of deep personal hurt, recalling that during a two-month hospital stay, both Peter and Paul called to check on him regularly while Jude never reached out once. He also alleged that the family's last-born sister is currently struggling financially in Lagos with little support. Henry described the singer as once being the kindest person in the family before undergoing a dramatic change in character. "I don't know how to put it. I don't know if Jude used any… on Paul; I cannot tell," he said.
On whether Peter and Paul could ever reunite, Henry was pessimistic. "I'll be happy for them to come back together, but the problem I'm having is that I don't think they'll come back because Jude has made all of us become enemies," he said.
Wider Context and Recent Developments
His comments arrive amid a wider public breakdown between Peter and Jude, after Peter released a tell-all video series accusing his brother of financial misappropriation and issuing death threats — claims that have rocked the family publicly in recent weeks.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Peter Okoye alleged that his twin brother Paul failed to honour a promise they made to each other as children. In a new video posted on Thursday, 6 August, the singer went further, this time targeting what he described as a betrayal rooted in their shared childhood.
