“Just Because You’re Older Doesn’t Mean You Deserve Respect” – Peter Okoye Slams Elder Brother Jude

Nigeria singer Peter Okoye has fired back at his elder brother, Jude Okoye, after the latter mocked him, singer Cynthia Morgan, and other former artists who once worked with his label but later parted ways.

In a post shared on June 27, Jude Okoye claimed that these artists left his record label after becoming successful, only to end up broke.

He accused them of being greedy and ungrateful, adding that they’ve tried to tarnish his name with false accusations like money laundering.

Jude said these attacks were meant to break him, but he refuses to be blackmailed or give in to any pressure.

Reacting on Instagram, Peter Okoye slammed Jude whom he called an “Agbaya,” a Yoruba term used for someone who’s older but acts immaturely.

The singer noted that respect must be earned, not demanded, regardless of age.

He also dismissed Jude’s claim that he once supported him, clarifying that Jude was simply a manager for the PSquare group, just like the two managers before him, and that he was eventually fired.

Peter explained that since going solo, he’s found more peace and financial success than he did while sharing income three ways in the PSquare group with Jude as their manager.

The singer pointed out that his solo career, along with his business ventures, now earns him more money than he made in the group.

He also questioned the fairness of having to share his success with people he claims betrayed him, stole from him, and tried to undermine his progress.

He went on to say that he’s done staying silent and mature while being constantly disrespected. He said he now treats people the same way they treat him, with mutual respect or distance.

‘’JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE OLDER, DOESN’T MEAN YOU DESERVE RESPECT. RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GIVEN. Calling me broke or wishing I was broke has been your wish. These are the exact same words you told the EFCC officials. And you ended up getting locked up in prison.

“Of course, again you have to come up with another narrative “Broke” let’s set the record straight, you were shouldering who? May be them but not me. Agbaya, you were employed as a manager by Peter and Paul PSQUARE, and you got sacked the same as the other 2 managers before you. Period!

“I understand this may not sit well with some people, but truth be told, aside from my businesses, what I now earn on my own as a solo artiste today is more than what I used to earn after splitting three ways as PSQUARE plus the so-called manager. I am talking about both shows and endorsements. It really makes me question what’s the point of sharing with people who stole from you, betrayed you, and still discriminate against your efforts!?

“This solo journey has been a blessing—more rewarding and profitable, both financially and personally, no doubt. And it has also brought peace of mind. And if you don’t relate or it doesn’t make sense to you, no worries—it’s not meant to. But I am grateful. But again, despite being in court! Una never still answer the question, UNA THIEF ABI UNA NO THIEF ? Ndi ori.

“I have stopped playing nice and being the matured one while getting disrespected! I started treating people exactly how they treat me.R espect me, I respect you! Ignore me, I ignore you! Cross me, I cut you off, simple. Life isn’t about begging people for fair treatment! It’s about matching energy; it is what it is. Tit for tat! I stayed real, I stayed strong, and I stopped letting people walk over me. PETER OKOYE.”
