The wife of Jude Okoye has publicly responded for the first time as the dispute between the P-Square brothers intensifies, according to BBC. Ifeoma Okoye's reaction comes after Peter Okoye made fresh allegations against his older brother and former manager.
BBC reports that the latest development in the ongoing feud between Peter and Paul Okoye has drawn a response from Ifeoma Okoye. Her comments follow Peter's confirmation that Jude has filed a lawsuit to prevent him from performing P-Square songs, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.
The conflict escalated after Peter accused Jude of diverting $1.2 million in P-Square royalties, a claim Jude has since denied, according to theeagleonline.com.ng. Punch Newspapers notes that the feud between the brothers has escalated significantly, with legal action now central to the dispute.
Ifeoma Okoye's public statement marks a notable shift, as she has largely stayed out of the public eye during previous disagreements between the brothers. LEADERSHIP Newspapers reported that she broke her silence specifically in response to Peter's latest allegations.
The P-Square trio—identical twins Peter and Paul, along with their elder brother Jude—rose to fame as one of Africa's most successful music acts before their initial split in 2017. The brothers have reunited and separated multiple times since, with management and financial disputes repeatedly surfacing.
Jude has served as the group's manager and has been accused in the past of financial mismanagement, though he has consistently denied such claims. The current legal battle appears focused on performance rights and royalty payments.
What to watch next: Whether Jude's lawsuit will proceed in court and how Paul Okoye positions himself amid the escalating legal confrontation between his twin and their brother.
