The bitter war between former P-Square members, Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye, seems not to be ending any time soon, as the long-running battle takes yet another dramatic turn.
The latest twist comes after Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, took to X to firmly reject claims that his wife, Lola Omotayo, played any role in the family’s breakdown.
He wrote; “Before you drag any woman into this! No woman directed or advised anyone to steal from what I worked for over the years. Stop pushing that narrative to suit your agenda.”
“None of us were even married 20-something years ago when this whole betrayal and stealing started! I said what I said.”
“Yes, it’s painful. And yes, it’s my loss. But no one should keep reminding me that I was betrayed and used by my own blood for over 20 years plus.”
“Even if my parents were alive and supported this kind of betrayal, I’d still choose to step back, cut them off and protect my peace. Boundaries are necessary! Blood isn’t thicker than my peace of mind.”
“Now that I’ve uncovered the betrayal that has been going on for over 20 years plus, suddenly we’re blood? No… it doesn’t work like that. We are still in court!”
The Okoye family, comprising of Peter Okoye, Paul Okoye, and their elder brother, Jude Okoye has long been defined by cycles of breakups, makeups, and renewed clashes.
P-Square first split in 2017 amid disputes over management, finances, and creative control. Their widely celebrated 2021 reunion briefly rekindled hope among fans, but old tensions soon resurfaced this time centering on financial transparency and ownership of their music catalogue.
The saga has since spilled into the legal arena, with Jude Okoye facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged money laundering and diversion of royalties allegations he has denied. The case remains before the Lagos State High Court, with proceedings ongoing and adjourned to May 15, 2026.
