‎Peter Okoye Confirms Jude’s Lawsuit To Stop Him From Performing P-Square Songs

‎Singer Peter Okoye has confirmed that his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, has initiated another legal battle aimed at stopping him from performing songs released under the P-Square brand.

‎Peter made the allegation in a video shared on his official social media page, responding to earlier claims by Jude regarding P-Square’s ownership and the ongoing dispute over the group’s business affairs.

‎According to the singer, the fresh suit is separate from the ongoing case involving Northside Music and government authorities, insisting that he is only a witness in that matter.

‎“Jude served me a letter. We just had the hearing recently. During the hearing, the first thing they wanted to do was stop me from performing P-Square songs,” he said.

‎Peter claimed that during the recent court proceedings, Jude, with the support of his twin brother Paul Okoye, sought an order to prevent him from performing P-Square songs.

‎‎He also rejected Jude’s claim that he was responsible for bringing P-Square to Lagos in 2005, arguing that the group had already built its career years before then.

‎“In Jude’s claim, you said you brought P-Square to Lagos in 2005, so automatically that makes you the owner of P-Square. P-Square’s first album came out in 2003. We’ve been singing for four to five years before that and even signed our first management contract. Where were you then?” Peter said.

‎Peter further alleged that Jude was still in school at the time and insisted that the narrative being presented in court was inaccurate.

‎“You said you brought us to Lagos. Jude, we brought you to Lagos. I sold my car and paid for our first house. I still have the receipts. You and Paul ran away when there was nothing. I stayed back. Now, all of a sudden, you own P-Square,” he added.

‎The singer’s comments come amid the prolonged dispute involving the Okoye brothers over the ownership and management of the P-Square brand, royalties and related business interests.

‎The latest allegations have generated fresh reactions online, although Jude Okoye has yet to publicly respond to Peter’s claims regarding the alleged court move to stop him from performing P-Square songs.
