Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has dropped the third instalment of his tell-all series, presenting detailed allegations about how royalties from his music career were allegedly handled without his knowledge. The new video takes the long-running Okoye family feud deeper into financial territory, with Mr P claiming to have discovered a pattern of diverted payments spanning six years.
In the video, the singer recounts how his suspicion was first triggered when he attempted to obtain a statement of account from Northside Entertainment, the company tied to the family’s music operations. It was then, he says, that he learned he was no longer a signatory to the company’s bank account. That discovery opened the door to a broader investigation of the business’s dealings, particularly payments flowing in from music aggregators.
Mr P alleges that further checks revealed transactions involving royalties that he never knew about. He says music aggregator payments were being split in a manner he did not authorise, and he questioned why he had not been informed about any of the funds. The singer maintains that the entire arrangement was executed behind his back.
Royalties redirected to Northside Music
The most explosive claim comes after the 2017 breakup of P-Square, the iconic duo made up of Mr P and his twin brother, Paul Okoye. According to Mr P, royalties that should have been paid to Northside Entertainment were instead channelled to a different entity called Northside Music. The redirection, he says, took place without his consent or even his knowledge.
To back his claim, Mr P says he has seen documents that show over $1.2 million in royalties were paid into the Northside Music account between 2017 and 2023. This is the first time such a concrete figure has been placed in the public domain in this ongoing dispute. The singer insists he never agreed to this arrangement and only became aware of it after his recent investigations.
Confrontation with Jude and Paul Okoye
Mr P also speaks about confronting his older brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, over the alleged discrepancies. He says the explanations he received were far from satisfactory, leaving him with more questions than answers. He also recounts attempts to speak with Paul Okoye, explaining that he tried to convince his twin brother that something was fundamentally wrong with how their business was being managed.
According to Mr P, those conversations did not mend the rift; instead, the relationship between the brothers deteriorated further. Despite the severity of the allegations, he is careful in the video to frame his decision to speak out as a matter of personal truth rather than an attack on anyone. He says he has remained silent for years and can no longer keep the story to himself.
The tell-all series so far
The newly released video is the third part of an ongoing series that Mr P has been sharing publicly. Each instalment appears to peel back another layer of the complicated history between the three Okoye brothers. The series has attracted widespread attention, with fans and followers of P-Square keen to understand what led to the collapse of the group that defined a generation of Nigerian pop music.
P-Square, which rose to fame in the 2000s with back-to-back hit albums and an energetic stage presence, saw its journey end in 2017 when the brothers announced a split. Since then, the relationship between Peter, Paul and Jude has been anything but smooth, with occasional public flare-ups and social media exchanges. Mr P’s latest videos add a documentary-style narration to those events, filling in gaps from his personal perspective.
The video was shared on Instagram via the official account of blogger Linda Ikeji, who posted it in the early hours of the day. The post simply presents the video without additional commentary, allowing viewers to watch Mr P’s account in full. As of this report, there has been no immediate public response from Paul Okoye or Jude Okoye addressing the third part of the series.
Financial transparency and artist rights
Beyond the family drama, the allegations raised by Mr P touch on a wider issue in the Nigerian music industry: the need for transparent royalty management. Music aggregators act as intermediaries between streaming platforms and artists, and disputes over how their payments are distributed are not uncommon. Mr P’s claim that payments were split without his knowledge has reignited conversations about artist oversight and the trust artists place in their managers.
The $1.2 million figure, if accurate, represents a significant sum. Were it to be the subject of legal review, it could have major implications for how music royalties are handled in similar situations. However, it is important to note that these are allegations made by Mr P, and they have not been independently verified nor publicly addressed by the other parties involved at the time of writing.
What remains clear is that Mr P is determined to tell his story in his own words. With the series ongoing, there is already speculation among music enthusiasts about what the next part might contain. Whether it brings reconciliation or further separation remains to be seen, but the financial details now laid out give the public an unusual glimpse into the business side of P-Square.
