Fresh Twist In P-Square Feud As Henry Reveals Alleged Architect Of Family Division

The prolonged family crisis involving members of the Okoye family has taken another turn, with Henry Okoye, elder brother of former P-Square stars Peter and Paul Okoye, accusing their brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, of contributing to the division within the family.

Henry alleged that Jude’s actions after taking over the management of P-Square strained relationships between the twins and other members of their family.

He made the allegations during an interview with Nollyserve, shared on YouTube on Friday, amid renewed public exchanges among the Okoye brothers.

Henry also disputed claims that Jude was solely responsible for P-Square’s success, insisting that the family had provided financial and logistical support to Peter and Paul during the early stages of their music career.

“When they started this music, they were looking for sponsors. They didn’t get a sponsor. When I started sponsoring them, Jude was not there.

“We would travel from state to state for music. They used my car for flyers. I did bodyguard with them. We were supporting them as a family, but we knew it was Peter and Paul that owned it,” he said.

According to Henry, Jude became involved in managing the duo only after Peter and Paul had begun making significant progress in their music career.

He further alleged that their late mother initially opposed Jude’s involvement as manager because of concerns about his character.

“Before you could know it, Jude came in. We wanted to allow Jude to manage them, but my mum disagreed. She said she knew the kind of character Jude had,” Henry alleged.

Henry claimed that the relationship between Peter and Paul and other family members subsequently deteriorated.

“What happened at last is that they started running away from everybody. We never knew that it was Jude that was causing the problem,” he said.

‘Jude Blocked My 20% Share’

Henry also alleged that he was promised a 20 per cent share of P-Square’s performance fees in recognition of his contribution to the duo’s early career, but said he never received the money.

“Before they started all these things going on, they promised me 20% in each show, but nobody has given me,” he said.

He claimed Jude later questioned why he should be entitled to the percentage.

Henry recalled Jude asking: “What do I mean by 20%? For what?”

According to him, Jude also argued that the family members were travelling extensively and faced risks while on the road.

Henry said he reminded Jude that he had been involved in supporting Peter and Paul from the beginning, before Jude became their manager.

He further alleged that Jude subsequently sidelined other family members, including Tony Okoye, whom he identified as P-Square’s immediate elder brother and a former dancer with the group.

‘Jude Hasn’t Spoken to Me in Nearly Two Years’

Speaking about his current relationship with Jude, Henry said the two brothers had not communicated for between one and two years.

“Almost a year to two years, I’m not talking to Jude. He doesn’t talk to me,” he said.

Henry also recalled spending two months in hospital, alleging that Peter and Paul regularly contacted him during his stay while Jude never reached out.

“I was admitted into the hospital for two months. Peter used to call me. Paul used to call me. Jude never called me once to know how I’m feeling,” he alleged.

He also claimed that their youngest sister had experienced difficulties in Lagos, adding that Peter had continued to support members of the family.

Henry expressed surprise at Paul’s position in the ongoing dispute, describing him as one of the kindest members of the family in the past.

“In our family, Paul was the nicest person before, but the way he changed, I’m surprised. I don’t know how to put it,” he said.

Henry suggested that Jude had exerted significant influence over Paul, although he did not provide evidence to support the claim.

‘I Don’t Think Peter, Paul Will Reunite’

On the possibility of Peter and Paul resolving their differences and reuniting, Henry said he would welcome such an outcome but remained pessimistic.

“I’ll be happy for them to come back together, but the problem I’m having is that I don’t think they’ll come back because Jude has made all of us become enemies.

“If you want to talk to Peter and Paul, they’ll tell you to go and meet Jude. If Jude says no, that is it,” he said.

Henry’s comments come amid renewed controversy surrounding the Okoye family following a series of public allegations by Peter against Jude.

Peter recently released a multi-part video series in which he made allegations concerning financial matters and alleged threats involving his former manager and elder brother.

He also challenged claims that Jude was solely responsible for P-Square’s rise, maintaining that Henry and other members of the family supported him and Paul during the formative years of their career.
