    Enough of the negativity – Peter Okoye replies twin brother over song theft allegation

    Peter Okoye of the defunct music group, Psquare, has reacted to song theft allegation levelled against him by his twin brother, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Rudeboy via Instagram had accused his brother, Peter and their former producer Vampire, of stealing his song, ‘Winning’.

    He claimed that he wrote and sang  which was supposed to be released with his album next year. To his surprise, Mr P released the same song by the same producer.

    However, reacting to the allegation via an Instagram post, Mr P stated that it was impossible to steal what belongs to him.

    He revealed that Ogbogu ‘Calypso’ Chijioke was the original composer and that he also contributed to the song. He said the song was part of the tracks in the album Psquare was supposed to release.

    Mr P alleged that his twin brother has been “trying to tarnish my image” since their split. “Enough of the negativity,” he also declared, emphasising his desire to focus on his music and business without drama.

    “The world needs to know the truth. Every time he is always trying to tarnish my name,” he said in the Instagram video.

    “Maybe because I was not posting anything music related on my social media page for over 4 months. He believes I have lost interest in music. I took a breather to get my mind and head in the right space and when that was done, my epiphany was WINNING!

    “My prayer is that we all win, I want it for us all, I am in a good place mentally and creatively now, allow me enjoy and celebrate my wins big and small. I celebrate you and yours too!

    “Enough of the negativity! All want to do is release my music, conduct my business and live my life in peace…not every time drama.”

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Peter via Instagram, whilst addressing the allegation that he petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC) against his twin brother, Paul Okoye, disclosed Jude Okoye, was secretly diverting Psquare’s money with his wife to a secret account.

    Peter revealed that he was left speechless when he saw Paul’s interview, alleging that he had ordered EFCC to arrest him.

    He noted how he spoke to both Paul and Jude behind the scenes on settling the issue, but they didn’t give him a positive answer, leaving him no choice but to file a petition against Jude.

    “Let’s set the record straight together. Here is the full statement on the recent EFCC issue involving P-SQUARE and our former manager and elder brother, Jude Okoye. I challenge PAUL, or anyone else, to produce any petition that I, Peter Okoye, my management, or my legal team ever filed against my twin brother PAUL or that even mentions his name.Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support.

  • Why I petitioned EFCC against my brother – Peter of Psquare opens up

    Why I petitioned EFCC against my brother – Peter of Psquare opens up

    Peter Okoye, known as Mr. P, has disclosed why he petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC) against his elder brother, Jude Okoye.

    Peter, however, via a post on his Instagram page on Monday evening, denied petitioning the EFFC against his twin brother Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy.

    Addressing the EFCC allegation, Peter bravely narrated how he discovered Jude perpetrating fraud through a new company, ‘Northside Music’, which was similar to their company, ‘Northside Entertainment’ only that this company had only Jude and his wife as the directors.

    Peter said he approached his twin brother, Paul, countless times about his discovery. Still, Paul bluntly told him ‘to do his worst’, which led him to instruct his legal team to petition Jude and his wife, Ifeoma Okoye, who were the primary suspects.

    The father of two expressed disappointment that his twin publicly lied and accused him of petitioning the anti-graft agency against him, something Peter vehemently denied. He, then challenged Paul to provide the petition that he (Peter) ever submitted against him.

    Peter stressed that Jude, through the secret company, Northside Music, diverted millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of Naira from their company, Northside Entertainment, and that to him was a massive betrayal.

    He maintained that ‘‘Paul’s name was never mentioned in the petition because he was never a director of the secret company unless there is something he is hiding from all of us.”

    He added that ”Paul was only invited for questioning just like Jason Njoku of Iroko TV, Amaju Pinnick and others who had transactional dealings with Northside Music”

    He promised to share the final report of the EFCC, including receipts other documents relating to the secret company, including the CAC registration, bank transactions and bank statements that Jude set up with his wife, Ifeoma.

    Recall, Peter Okoye had earlier written an open letter to his twin brother, Paul Okoye accusing his brother of disrespecting his talent, ideas, and life.

Trust me, I’ve never spoken, but something has made me open up, especially the critical element that keeps bringing up this problem.”

    Paul Okoye also stated that his twin, Mr P filed a petition against him and he was investigated by the EFCC.

  • Psquare at war again as Peter involves EFCC In fresh feud

    Psquare at war again as Peter involves EFCC In fresh feud

    Nigerian singing duo, P-square are at alleged war again, ending the relative calm enjoyed in their camp since last year.

    According to controversial blogger Stella Dimokokorkus, trouble started at the Psquare’s camp after Peter discovers that a joint funds was allegedly diverted by Paul and their elder brother, Jude Okoye.

    Stella in an Instagram post on Saturday morning alleged that an insider disclosed that, a company wanted to acquire the music catalogue comprising all of the PSquare works but the conditions issued by them led to the unveiling of fraud perpetrated by Jude through a new company, Northside music which had only Jude’s wife as the director.

    She also claimed that the EFCC was involved in the issue and Jude Okoye was detained in the their custody before interference of the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick.

    The post reads:  “The music duo Psquare is at war again and this time, the problems tearing them apart looks like it will be more serious than what broke them up before..

    “Insiders allege that the brouhaha started when one of the Twins, Peter was approached by a company that wanted to buy Psquare music catelogue comprising all their works over the years..

    “The buyers allegedly gave a condition stating that the brothers had to show the (back-end), statement of account of royalties received over the years to enable them peg a price to what woud be paid for the catelogue.

    “Stella Dimoko Korkus Sources say nah there wahala start!

    “They say that Peter approached Jude and his twin Paul and told them what was proposed but after weeks of waiting for statement of account, it dawned on Peter that all was not well and sources say he began to investigate what was wrong..

    “Northside entertainment is the company Registered by Peter and Paul but their brother Jude made himself the only signatory to the account.

    “A can of worms opened on all fronts and Peter allegedly discovered that Northside music ‘ account had been diverting funds to a new company called Northside music which had Jude’s wife Ifeoma as a director with her family address used for registration…

    “The money in contention are Royalties due to the Singers from 2007 till date and running into millions of dollars…

    “Insiders squeal that the Economic crimes and financial commission (EFCC) is involved in the matter and Jude has allegedly officially agreed to fund diversion and all his accounts both in Nigeria and internationally have been frozen until further notice….

    “Paul in trying to take sides with Jude indicted himself as an accomplice who shares the money that was diverted with Jude..

    “The insider squealed that all Royalties have been shared by Jude and Paul, leaving Peter out of the sharing formular….

    “They were spotted at the EFCC office on Thursday June 6, 2024 and the atmospehre was hot with the brothers telling each other to do their worst….

    “Jude was in EFCC Detention until his last birthday when former NFF President Pinnick signed his bail bond so he could celebrate his birthday with his family at home.”

    It is yet to be clear if these claims are true as the singing duo are yet to make a statement regarding the issue.
