Henry Okoye, elder brother of music duo P-Square, has accused their former manager and brother, Jude Okoye, of being responsible for the longstanding rift within the family.

Henry made the allegation during an interview with Nollyserve, shared on YouTube on Friday, where he also disputed claims that Jude was responsible for building P-Square’s career.

According to him, the family had supported Peter and Paul Okoye from the early days of their music career, long before Jude became involved in managing the group.

“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,” Henry said.

He alleged that Jude joined the group’s management only after the twins had begun making progress, adding that their late mother had initially opposed the idea because of her concerns about Jude’s 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,” he alleged.

Henry claimed that the family became increasingly divided after Jude took over the management of P-Square.

“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.

He also alleged that he was promised 20 per cent from each of P-Square’s shows in recognition of his early financial and logistical support, but claimed 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,” Henry said.

According to him, Jude later questioned why he was entitled to the percentage, leading to further disagreements within the family.

Henry also accused Jude of cutting ties with family members, claiming that Jude had not contacted him even when he was hospitalised for two months.

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

“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 doesn’t care for anybody,” he alleged.

He further claimed that their youngest sister was struggling in Lagos and accused some members of the family of failing to support her, while acknowledging Peter’s efforts.

Henry also expressed surprise at what he described as a change in Paul’s attitude, saying the singer was previously the “nicest person” in the family.

“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. I don’t know if Jude used any… on Paul; I cannot tell,” he said.

On the possibility of Peter and Paul reconciling, Henry said he would welcome such a development but expressed doubts that it would happen soon.

“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,” he lamented.

“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.”

Henry’s allegations come amid an escalating public feud involving the Okoye brothers.

Peter, also known as Mr P, recently released a series of videos in which he accused Jude of financial misconduct and alleged that he issued death threats against him.

Peter has also rejected claims that Jude built P-Square’s career, maintaining that Henry played a significant role in supporting the twins during the early stages of their music journey.

The latest allegations have further exposed the deep divisions within the Okoye family, years after P-Square’s rise to prominence and subsequent split.

The family of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba has appealed for privacy and understanding as they mourn her passing, while condemning the circulation of what they described as false and unverified reports about the circumstances of her death.
In a statement posted on Osoba’s official Instagram page on Thursday, the Awonuga/Osoba family said it was deeply saddened by the spread of misinformation across social media and blogs.

The family concluded by expressing gratitude for the prayers, love and support they have received, while asking everyone to honour Temitope Osoba’s memory by respecting their privacy during this difficult time.
