Peter Okoye, one half of the now-disbanded music duo P-Square, has publicly accused his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye, of trying to damage his reputation amid their ongoing legal dispute over royalties.
In a series of posts shared on his Instagram Story, Peter reacted to a statement reportedly made in court by Jude’s lawyer, who claimed Peter lied in a document he submitted to the EFCC.
The singer said the accusation is part of a calculated effort to discredit him by his brothers.
He pointed fingers at their publicist, saying they were trying to make him look like a liar, and reminded them that, unlike past artists who had issues with the Okoyes—like May D and Cynthia Morgan—he won’t stay silent.
“Exactly what I was talking about: their publicist doing everything for me to look like a liar. I am not May D or Cynthia Morgan; I am Peter Okoye, the one and only the rock/okwute of the Okoyes. The truth shall surely prevail. Una thief abi una no thief?” he wrote.
Peter Okoye also said watching the events surrounding the late singer Mohbad’s death made him promise never to keep quiet about the truth again.
He expressed regret for trying to take the high road in the past saying, “After watching everything about Mohbad’s death and how the whole thing played out to date, I decided I would never play the bigger person nor act as the mature one. And that’s exactly what led to this whole madness. Simply because I was trying to be the bigger person! Omo! Never again.”
He went on to claim that the 2021 reunion of P-Square was staged and that he now feels manipulated and betrayed.
“Only to find out that I was actually used in the whole November 2021 reunion! But since we are in court, I will wait for the right time to tell what really went down. Family doesn’t steal from family. Una thief abi una no thief?” he said.
KanyiDaily recalls that Jude Okoye was recently released after spending more than two months in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
