The simmering Okoye brothers’ feud has boiled over once more, with P-Square’s Peter Okoye delivering a raw, no-holds-barred response to a fan urging him to swallow his pride and reconcile with twin brother Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy. In a series of fiery X posts that have fans reeling, the 43-year-old singer declared their bond irreparably broken, reigniting the long-standing drama that’s plagued the iconic duo since their 2017 split.
The latest chapter unfolded earlier today when Peter shared a nostalgic throwback photo on X, capturing his humble beginnings in the music grind—sans any mention of his siblings. The post, meant to celebrate his solo evolution as Mr P, instead drew unsolicited advice from a well-meaning (or meddlesome) follower. “Kill your pride and reconcile with your brother,” the fan wrote, invoking politician Nyesom Wike’s reconciliation with his godson Siminalayi Fubara as a blueprint. “Focus on money, not emotions.” The troll’s message, laced with good intentions but poor timing, struck a nerve amid ongoing family tensions.
Peter didn’t mince words. Replying with a barrage of bucket emojis (his signature for dumping shade), he escalated: “We are no longer family at this point.” In follow-up tweets, the “Look For Me” crooner doubled down, venting about betrayal and vowing silence no more— a pointed reference to the tragic death of singer Mohbad last year, which he said hardened his resolve against family sabotage. “I’m not MayD or Cynthia Morgan. I am PETER OKOYE. The one and only THE ROCK of the Okoyes. The truth shall prevail,” he declared, slamming his family’s publicist for allegedly tarnishing his image. The outburst has amassed over 200,000 views, with Peter’s 4.5 million followers split between heartbreak and head-nods.
This isn’t idle beef; it’s rooted in deep-seated grievances. The twins, alongside elder brother Jude Okoye, first imploded in 2017 over creative differences and financial disputes, leading to solo ventures—Peter as Mr P, Paul as Rudeboy. They briefly reunited in 2021 amid fan frenzy, dropping hits like “Jaiye” that topped charts. But cracks reemerged in 2024, with Paul telling City FM that P-Square was “no more,” accusing Peter of dragging him into an EFCC petition over alleged embezzlement of group funds. Jude, the former manager, faced his own heat in a N850 million money laundering case tied to an Ikoyi property, with Peter distancing himself and fans speculating the brothers are ganging up against him. Earlier flare-ups included Paul’s 2024 “song theft” accusations against Peter and his producer, which Mr P dismissed as distractions from his new single “Winning.”
Netizens are in meltdown mode. “Peter’s pain is real, but family first na,” lamented one X user, while another rallied: “Mr P, you’re the real Square—keep shining solo!” Supporters flooded his page with prayers, but skeptics dragged the fan for “stirring the pot.” Even as Peter announced P-Square’s permanent disbandment last year—“There will be nothing like Psquare forever”—echoes of their 2000s glory (think “Chop My Money” and AMVCA dominance) leave fans yearning for closure.
Insiders whisper that mediation attempts have fizzled, with Paul prioritizing “peace over performance” in recent interviews. For now, Peter’s message is clear: Pride isn’t the issue—trust is. As the Okoye saga scrolls on, one question lingers: Can twins truly go their separate ways, or will Naija’s love for P-Square force a finale? In the words of their classic, “If I tell you say I love you o…” – maybe some stories are better left unsung. Stay tuned; this family’s encore might just drop any day.
