Peter Okoye, the singer popularly known as Mr P, has escalated his public feud with his elder brother Jude Okoye by releasing the fifth video in his ongoing series on Tuesday, August 3. In this latest instalment, Peter revisits a physical altercation that allegedly occurred in early 2015, claiming that recent investigations have clarified the events for him. The core of the dispute revolves around a property in Atlanta, United States, which Peter says was quietly listed for sale without his knowledge.
Property Dispute and Alleged Threats
In the video, Mr P claims that Jude threatened him during a disagreement over the ownership of the property after Peter questioned the plans to sell it. He further alleges that he was presented with documents that would have transferred his ownership rights, but he refused to sign them. Peter also asserts that Jude made repeated threats, with one incident captured on video and another mentioned in the letter announcing P-Square's 2017 breakup.
Peter also addressed the long-held belief that Jude financially invested in P-Square at the start of their career. He debunked this claim, stating that Jude was a student like them and that it was their eldest brother, Henry, who provided the early financial support. This revelation challenges the narrative that has been part of the group's history.
Jude's Counter-Evidence and Public Reaction
This latest video follows Jude Okoye's earlier response to Peter's allegations of royalty diversion, in which Jude shared what he described as counter-evidence. The back-and-forth has captured the attention of fans and the public, with many taking sides. Social media users have reacted strongly to Peter's revelations, with comments ranging from support to skepticism.
For instance, @saaisosa commented, "Or is Jude using juju for Paul but the juju no catch Peter?" Another user, @deeza4baba, drew a comparison to Prince Harry, saying, "When a sibling for a long time is playing the mumu for peace to reign, and same sibling refuses to continue with the mumu game, others who were taking advantage of that sibling will begin to hate and fight him or her for refusing to remain a mumu."
Fan Reactions and Support
Other reactions included @legboh observing, "Do you Paul and Jude don't even trust themselves?? Same reason why Paul didn't even make Jude his manager when Peter left the scene." @buike_pat stated, "Peter really passed through a lot, Good he has these concrete evidence. Those that called him a manipulator should apologize immediately." @chigoziefrank001 simply reacted, "He went through a lot."
The feud has also drawn attention to Peter's claims about his social media growth. In a previous report by Legit.ng, Peter alleged that P-Square's reunion with his twin brother, Rudeboy, slowed his social media growth. Before the comeback, his accounts were gaining up to 100,000 new followers daily, ranking alongside Davido and Don Jazzy in influence. However, after the reunion, his follower growth dropped drastically, and he speculated that the comeback might have been the reason, though he admitted he wasn't entirely certain.
Ongoing Feud and Implications
The feud between the Okoye brothers has been a subject of intense public interest, with each new video and allegation adding fuel to the fire. Peter's latest claims about the property dispute and threats have raised questions about the family dynamics and the management of P-Square's assets. The public awaits further responses from Jude and possibly other family members.
As the series continues, fans are left to piece together the truth from the conflicting narratives. The impact of this feud extends beyond personal relationships, affecting the legacy of one of Africa's most successful music groups. The Okoye brothers' story serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities of family and business intertwined.
