Nigerian music star Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has once again expressed his frustrations with his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye, reigniting a long-running family feud that has played out in the public eye for years.
This latest round of accusations stems from a statement allegedly made by their lawyer, accusing Peter of lying in court. The singer lashed out, claiming that their publicist is working overtime to portray him as a liar.
In the process, he made a pointed remark stating, “I am not May D or Cynthia Morgan,” referencing other artists previously associated with his elder brother Jude’s record label, Northside Entertainment.
The mention of Cynthia Morgan did not go unnoticed. The dancehall artist, who had a public fallout with Jude years ago, slammed Peter in her Instagram story post.
Cynthia said she felt hurt that he would include her in his outburst after she had endured emotional distress with the Okoye family, with Peter allegedly among those who made her feel weak.
In response, Peter claimed he had offered her a contract in 2020, which she rejected after allegedly being misled into believing he was the “bad egg” in the family.
“Sad you rejected the contract I gave you. Just because they made you see me as the bad egg. I pray you understand that God has a purpose for everything… It’s never too late to be what you might have been. God will surely see you through and carry you through the storm. Keep believing,” he wrote.
Peter also turned his attention back to his elder brother Jude, accusing his wife of diverting P-Square‘s earnings while blaming Peter’s wife, Lola Omotayo to distract the public. He claimed that Jude’s wife owned 80% of the company and had long controlled the group’s finances.
“They made it seem like my wife, Lola, was the problem. Meanwhile, it was Jude’s wife who diverted PSQUARE’s proceeds for years. Imagine if it were my wife — the media would have dragged her endlessly. UnaThiefAbiUnaNoThief. FamilyDoesNotStealFromFamily. I disown them,” he added.
Peter maintained that his split from the group and family business was never about money or power but about freedom. He stood by his decision, declaring that “the truth shall prevail.”
