Mr P claims Jude Okoye threatened him during P-Square property dispute
Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P and one-half of the former P-Square music duo, has made new allegations against his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, over a long-running dispute involving the group’s assets.
In a recent video series detailing the events that led to the collapse of their relationship, Mr P claimed a disagreement over one of the group’s properties in the United States escalated into a near physical confrontation.
According to the musician, the incident happened in 2015 after the brothers agreed to share ownership of their properties. He alleged that he later discovered his portion of a US duplex had been put up for sale without his consent, prompting him to confront Jude Okoye.
“This incident happened in early 2015; it started making sense to me after EFCC told me everything. Why the sudden attack?” he said.
Mr P further alleged that the discussion quickly became hostile and that Jude threatened to physically assault him before people nearby intervened.
“He told me to get out of his front before he slapped me. He wanted to beat me up before other artistes stepped in,” Peter Okoye alleged.
The singer also disputed suggestions that Jude was solely responsible for financing P-Square during its formative years. Instead, he credited their elder brother, Henry Okoye, with providing the financial support that helped launch the group’s career.
Mr P additionally claimed he later received documents seeking to transfer his ownership interest in the US property to Jude Okoye’s wife, Ifeoma Omokeke, but refused to sign them after realising the ownership structure would change. He alleged that Jude insisted he had controlling authority over the group’s assets and could remove him from the business.
The latest allegations add another twist to the long-running rift within the Okoye family, a dispute that has repeatedly resurfaced since P-Square’s breakup. Although the brothers reunited briefly in 2021, their renewed public exchanges suggest the disagreement over trust, finances and ownership remains unresolved.
