A new wave of conflict has hit the Okoye family after singer Peter Okoye publicly responded to a suggestive post made by his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye.
Jude had earlier taken to Instagram on Friday to share a cryptic message seemingly aimed at former associates. In the post, he accused unnamed individuals of turning their backs on him after benefiting from his influence.
“They all have one thing in common: they were big, influential, and successful when I was shouldering them with my platform until they got greedy and wanted to eat alone and so left,” he stated.
He continued, “They never complained afterward… rather, they bragged about their ‘newfound freedom’… Years down the line they fell off… instead of accepting responsibility… they are pointing fingers at the same person they left for their ‘freedom’.”
Jude also alleged that false accusations had been made against him in a bid to have him imprisoned. “They tried to blackmail me into submission. Allegations of fraud, money laundering, just to get me jailed,” he claimed.
Peter Okoye, however, was quick to fire back. In a detailed post on Instagram on Monday, the singer questioned Jude’s portrayal of past events and accused him of constantly undermining his achievements.
“JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE OLDER, DOESN’T MEAN YOU DESERVE RESPECT. RESPECT IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN,” Peter began.
“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, you have to come up with another narrative.”
Peter went on to dispute the notion that Jude had played a central role in the success of the PSquare duo, insisting that he was merely a hired manager.
“You were shouldering who? Agbaya, you were employed as a manager by Peter and Paul and you got sacked the same as the other two managers before you. Period!”
Highlighting the advantages of his solo career, Peter emphasized that life after PSquare has been both peaceful and financially fulfilling.
“This solo journey has been a blessing—more rewarding and profitable, both financially and personally, no doubt. And it has also brought me peace of mind,” he said.
He also referenced ongoing legal proceedings, demanding accountability from his brother. “Despite the fact we are in court! You still haven’t answered the question, ARE YOU A THIEF OR NOT? Ndi ori.”
Ending the thread on a defiant note, Peter said he was done keeping quiet in the name of family unity.
“I have stopped playing nice and being the mature one while getting disrespected!… Life isn’t about begging people for fair treatment! It’s about matching energy… Tit for tat!”
The fresh outburst has revived old wounds in the family, years after PSquare disbanded in 2017. Although the twins briefly reunited in 2021, the friction between them and Jude appears far from over.
