Reactions have continued to pour in on social media after singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, shared an emotional video detailing his long running rift with his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye.
The video, which forms the fifth episode of his ongoing tell all series, has sparked widespread conversations online, with many Nigerians expressing sympathy while others weighed in on the family dispute.
In the latest episode, Peter alleged that his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, once threatened to shoot him during an argument over the ownership of a property in the United States. According to him, the disagreement began after he questioned plans to sell the property.
Peter claimed the incident was one of several occasions on which Jude allegedly threatened his life. He said one of those moments was captured on video, while another was referenced in the letter announcing the breakup of P Square in 2017. He stressed that his decision to publicly share his experiences was not to gain sympathy but to finally tell his own side of the story.
The revelations quickly drew reactions from fans and celebrities alike.
Singer Cynthia Morgan described the situation as shameful, expressing disappointment over the public family conflict.
Businessman Xxssive, who was formerly in a relationship with actress Nkechi Blessing, said there is no pain greater than the hurt caused by one’s own family.
Actress Queeneth Hilbert also reacted with emotional emojis, reflecting the sadness many followers felt after watching the video.
Several social media users shared similar sentiments. One commenter noted that betrayal from family members leaves deeper emotional wounds because family should be a source of healing rather than pain.
Another user said the situation serves as a reminder for people to carefully understand every contract they sign, questioning how a manager could end up controlling another person’s earnings.
A different commenter wondered why a manager would receive such a large percentage of revenue, arguing that the arrangement appeared unfair since the manager was neither the performer nor the songwriter.
Others were moved by the emotional way Peter referred to Paul as “my own twin brother,” saying the words reflected the depth of the pain he was experiencing. Another social media user described the situation as heartbreaking, saying it is especially painful when two members of the same family appear to stand against one person.
Peter began releasing his tell all series a few days ago after receiving criticism over his “Who Naija Help” comment.
In the first episode, he accused his twin brother, Paul Okoye, of constantly trying to undermine him. He claimed Paul regularly threw subtle jabs at him and declared that he was no longer willing to remain silent or continue playing the role of the bigger person.
The second episode focused on the financial arrangement within the group. Peter alleged that Paul proposed a sharing formula in which both of them would receive 35 percent each, while Jude would take the remaining 30 percent. He questioned why their elder brother had to manage them in the first place, pointing out that they had worked with three different managers before Jude assumed the role.
In the third part of the series, Peter claimed he discovered he was no longer a signatory to Northside Entertainment’s bank account when he attempted to obtain the company’s statement of account. He described the discovery as a painful betrayal and questioned why his own brothers would allegedly divert money that belonged to him.
Responding to the accusations, Jude Okoye denied the allegations and accused Peter of attempting to shape public opinion through social media while the matter remains before the court. He insisted he would not discuss issues that are still part of the ongoing legal proceedings beyond correcting what he described as false claims.
Earlier this year, Peter also dismissed any hope of a P Square reunion, making it clear that the music group had reached its end. He urged fans and critics alike to respect people’s personal decisions, adding that nothing lasts forever and that change is an unavoidable part of life.
The renewed exchange comes after another fallout within the famous music family in 2023, when disagreements reportedly resurfaced over allegations that joint funds were being diverted by their elder brother, Jude Okoye. Since then, the dispute has continued to generate public attention, with both sides maintaining opposing accounts of what truly happened.
