“Family Does Not Steal From Family”: Peter Okoye Breaks Silence, Cuts Ties with Brothers Amid Explosive Revelations

 

Peter Okoye, one-half of the iconic former music duo P-Square, has reignited public discourse on family and betrayal after publicly severing ties with his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye. In a series of social media posts made on June 4, the pop star didn't mince words, accusing his siblings of orchestrating a coordinated campaign to destroy his reputation while manipulating the public narrative to paint him as the problem in their long-standing family feud.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, Peter revealed that his recent outburst was not a sudden act of retaliation but a reaction to years of sustained defamation allegedly orchestrated by his brothers, especially Jude Okoye, who managed P-Square during their peak years. According to Peter, this wasn't just sibling rivalry—it was a matter of betrayal and deceit hidden behind the veil of family unity.

Accusations flew, with Peter asserting that his brothers had hired publicists to spread falsehoods, framing him as disloyal and divisive. He emphasized that this tactic successfully convinced fans and industry insiders that his wife, Lola Omotayo Okoye, was the source of the Okoye family’s internal turmoil. Yet, in a stunning revelation, Peter alleged that it was Jude’s wife who owned 80% of the company that had siphoned proceeds from P-Square’s musical ventures for years—a truth he says has been strategically buried.

Public reaction to his disclosures was swift and intense. Many questioned his timing and motivations, especially regarding his references to artists May D and Cynthia Morgan. Both musicians had previously spoken out against their treatment under Jude Okoye’s record label, Northside Entertainment, painting pictures of exploitation and neglect. Critics accused Peter of remaining silent during those critical moments when solidarity might have made a difference.

Not one to remain silent this time, Peter posted screenshots of tweets and posts he made in 2020, proving that he had, in fact, shown support for Cynthia Morgan during her public fallout with his older brother. He also drew a clear distinction between himself and the other artists involved, noting, "I am not May D or Cynthia Morgan." That statement, while brief, seemed to carry a deeper meaning—perhaps a nod to his resilience and refusal to stay quiet any longer.

The hashtag #iDisownThem appeared multiple times in his posts, a clear declaration of his final break from Jude and Paul. For fans who grew up on P-Square’s hits and once admired the seeming unity of the Okoye brothers, this was a difficult pill to swallow. Years of speculation, fan wars, and piecemeal statements from the trio have now culminated in what Peter declares as his truth.

Adding fuel to the fire, Peter directly addressed the media bias that often targeted his wife. “Imagine if it was my wife Lola; by now, the media would have been using her as a headline,” he stated. His words hinted at deep-seated resentment over how narratives were shaped to demonize some while shielding others from scrutiny.

These revelations also reopened conversations about transparency and power dynamics in the Nigerian music industry. Fans of May D and Cynthia Morgan revisited their past interviews and statements, drawing comparisons between their experiences and Peter's recent disclosures. The issue appears to transcend personal grudges—it has become a symbol of what happens when the lines between family, business, and loyalty blur.

As of now, neither Paul nor Jude Okoye has issued a direct response to Peter’s latest claims. Social media remains abuzz, with hashtags like #iDisownThem, #FamilyDoesNotStealFromFamily, and #PSquare trending across platforms. The court of public opinion is divided—some praising Peter’s courage to finally speak out, others calling for maturity and private resolution.

Regardless of where public sentiment lies, one thing is clear: the era of quiet tension among the Okoye brothers has ended. With Peter’s declaration and receipts now in the open, the story of P-Square is no longer just about music. It’s about trust broken, truths unearthed, and a family forever altered.
