Peter Okoye, one-half of the now-defunct music duo P-Square, has publicly accused his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye, of attempting to damage his reputation amid their ongoing legal battle over royalties.
Taking to his Instagram Story, Peter responded to a claim reportedly made in court by Jude Okoye’s lawyer, who alleged that Peter had submitted false information to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The singer, clearly upset, alleged that the accusation was part of a calculated plan by their publicist to portray him as dishonest.
“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 went on to say that the death of singer Mohbad deeply influenced his decision to stop suppressing his truth.
He explained that trying to be the “bigger person” had only backfired on him.
“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 added.
He also alleged that the highly publicized P-Square reunion in November 2021 was orchestrated and that he now feels used.
“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?”
Peter’s comments signal deep-rooted tensions within the Okoye family, hinting that more revelations may surface as their legal dispute continues.
