Peter Okoye Denies Involvement in Jude Okoye’s Legal Battle Amidst Family Feud

Nigerian music star Peter Okoye has distanced himself from his elder brother, Jude Okoye’s, ongoing legal troubles, amid accusations from his twin brother, Paul Okoye.

The controversy erupted after Paul alleged that Peter was responsible for Jude’s legal woes, claiming that he was trying to have their elder brother jailed. This comes after Jude was remanded in prison on Friday by the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, following an alleged N1.38 billion fraud case filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, Peter’s manager, Emem Kush, has refuted any claims of his involvement, clarifying that Peter’s concerns were solely about financial mismanagement by a company handling his earnings.

"I don’t think Peter has any comments on this issue, because the case is based on the EFCC investigation and Jude Okoye. I don’t see what Peter Okoye has to do with it," Kush stated in an interview.

He further explained: "Peter’s petition was only against the company that has been receiving funds on his behalf. So, don’t mix up issues or create issues where they are not."

Opinion: Family and Business—A Toxic Mix?

This latest drama surrounding the Okoye brothers adds yet another chapter to the long history of family disputes within P-Square. From their infamous 2017 breakup to multiple public spats, it seems their family conflicts continue to spill into the public eye.

If Peter’s claims are true, then his petition was merely about financial transparency and had nothing to do with Jude’s fraud case. However, Paul’s reaction suggests there may be deeper family tensions at play.

The situation also raises questions about the dangers of mixing business with family. When money and trust issues arise, things can quickly turn bitter—often beyond repair. While fans may hope for reconciliation, the reality remains that unresolved grievances could continue to drive the brothers further apart.

Should family always come first, even in business? Or is financial accountability more important than blood ties? One thing is clear—this saga is far from over.
