Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has once again brought public attention to his long-running dispute with his brothers, reigniting conversations around the breakup of the iconic music group P-Square.
In a strongly worded Facebook post, the singer expressed deep frustration over what he described as decades of betrayal and misleading narratives targeted at him.
According to him, the issues within the family did not start recently, insisting that alleged financial and managerial misconduct has been ongoing for over 20 years.
He wrote:
“We were not ‘blood’ when they were stealing from me. We were not ‘blood’ when they were creating false narratives about me.
Now that I’ve uncovered the betrayal that has been going on for over 20yrs plus, suddenly we’re blood?
No… it doesn’t work like that. We are still in court! Forgiveness doesn’t mean Accessibility. Again! Una go dey alright.”
The conflict involving Peter, his twin brother Paul Okoye, and their elder brother Jude Okoye dates back several years, contributing to the 2017 split of P-Square over disagreements around management, finances, and creative control. Jude, who managed the group, has often been mentioned in the dispute.
Although the brothers briefly reconciled in 2021, the peace was short-lived as tensions resurfaced. Peter has since maintained that legal proceedings are ongoing, particularly over alleged financial discrepancies spanning more than two decades.
Public Reactions
His latest statement has triggered mixed reactions online, with fans divided between calls for reconciliation and support for accountability.
Supporting Mr P
“He has every right to protect himself. Family or not, truth must come out.”
“If there’s a court case, then it’s serious. Let justice take its course.”
“People should stop forcing reconciliation without addressing the real issues.”
Opposing His Stance
“No matter what happened, they are still brothers. Forgiveness should come first.”
“This is becoming too public and damaging. Families should settle privately.”
“Holding onto bitterness for 20 years is too long.”
Neutral / Reflective Views
“We don’t know the full story, so it’s hard to take sides.”
“Fame and money destroy many families, this is sad to watch.”
“Hope they find peace eventually, especially for the sake of their children.”
Despite public pressure, Mr P has made it clear that while forgiveness may be possible, it does not automatically restore trust or personal access, emphasizing that the matter remains a legal one rather than purely emotional.
