Many social media users have rallied behind Peter “Mr P” Okoye as his renewed public dispute with his twin brother, Paul “Rudeboy” Okoye, and their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, continues to dominate online conversations.
The growing support follows Mr P’s ongoing multi-part video series in which he recounts the events that led to P-Square’s repeated breakups and the family’s long-running financial dispute. In the videos, which have now reached Part Six, he accused Jude of claiming ownership of P-Square, withholding financial records, delaying access to the group’s backend catalogue and mishandling royalty payments.

Jude has denied the allegations, describing them as “blatant lies” and “manipulative tactics.” He maintains that the disputed royalty payments and financial records were already presented during the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigation and remain matters before the court.
P-Square, made up of Mr P and Rudeboy, was formed in 1999 and grew into one of Africa’s biggest music groups with hit songs including “Bizzy Body”, “Do Me”, “Personally”, “No One Like”, “You” and “Chop My Money.” The brothers first split in 2017 before reuniting in 2021. Their reunion, however, ended in another breakup in 2024 following renewed disagreements over finances and management.

The dispute later escalated into an EFCC investigation, which led to criminal charges against Jude over alleged money laundering involving about ₦1.38 billion, $1 million and £34,537.59. He has pleaded not guilty, and the case remains before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Fans rally behind Mr P
As Mr P continued releasing new episodes of his video series, many fans took to social media to express support for him, with several accusing Jude and Rudeboy of treating him unfairly throughout the years.
Some supporters also launched an online campaign encouraging fans to subscribe to Mr P’s YouTube channel and stream his latest single, “I Can’t Look Away”, as a show of solidarity.
At the time of filing this report, Mr P’s YouTube subscriber count had reportedly risen from about 777,000 to over 823,000, while the music video for “I Can’t Look Away” had surpassed two million views. PREMIUM TIMES could not independently verify the figures, which were circulating on social media among supporters.
Others described Mr P’s decision to publicly narrate his side of the story as long overdue, saying they now better understood the circumstances surrounding the group’s repeated breakups.
Court case
The renewed family dispute has unfolded alongside the ongoing criminal proceedings involving Jude.
Earlier this year, the EFCC arraigned the former P-Square manager before the Federal High Court in Lagos on money-laundering charges. He pleaded not guilty and was later granted bail.

During the proceedings, Mr P testified as a prosecution witness, while Rudeboy publicly defended Jude, further exposing the deep divisions within the family.
Mr P has indicated that he will continue releasing more episodes of his video series, promising to tell what he describes as the complete story behind P-Square’s collapse.
Jude, however, has said he will allow the court to determine the dispute and has ruled out further public exchanges until judgment is delivered.

Jude sef no try at all. He didn’t remember then that they were brothers how then do you expect Peter now to use brotherhood as a yardstick? Doesn’t work that way

“I don’t know if they forged my signature… How come you and your wife are shareholders of a company, but you have four officers… Jude, you and Paul know what you did. I have forgiven them, but they can never have access to me…”
