‘You chose to turn us into a laughing stock,’ Peter Okoye responds to his twin brother constantly disrespecting him, discrediting his contributions to P-Square

Any hope of embattled music duo, Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy and Peter Okoye aka Mr P and collectively known as PSquare, reconciling has been dashed.

P-Square initially broke up in 2017 due to personal issues, but they reunited in 2021 and have now decided to go their seperare ways finally.

Rudeboy in an impromptu Instagram  live video accused his twin brother, Mr P of unfairly benefiting from their music partnership.

When his fans asked about the status of PSquare in the live video, Rudeboy made it clear that they would never reunite. The singer explained that he handled most of the creative work over the years while Peter enjoyed more rewards.

Using the metaphor ‘Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop,’ Rudeboy highlighted a long-standing grievance, alleging that he did most of the songwriting in their music career while Mr P reaped the rewards.

He stated, “And the new me, eh, you see those days when Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop, I no dey do am again. So I better dey work for myself only. Every time only me dey sing all the songs, I no dey do again.”

The comment roughly translates to one person doing all the work while another benefits.

Rudeboy pointed out that he was the lead singer for most of their hits, a dynamic he no longer finds acceptable.

IvoryNG reported that the Okoye brothers’ longstanding feud took a surprising turn in August when Rudeboy confirmed P-Square’s split. He claimed that Mr P reported him and Jude, their elder brother, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for financial misconduct and embezzling P-Square’s funds

Rudeboy revealed that Peter filed a petition with the EFCC against him (Paul) and Jude. This led to Jude’s arrest and public denial of wrongdoing, further escalating the conflict.

Peter responded with a detailed open letter on 12 August, explaining that his legal actions were directed solely at Jude for allegedly mishandling funds from the P-Square brand and setting up a secret company, Northside Music, instead of the existing Northside Entertainment.

Peter expressed frustration that Paul sided with Jude instead of helping him reclaim control of their business. He felt that Paul’s decision to support Jude over fairness contributed to the breakdown of their relationship.

Jude, who doubles as the former manager of P-Square, addressed the drama in a live Instagram session on 18 August. He denied Peter’s accusations of financial misconduct, claiming that Peter had misunderstood the situation. Jude stated that Peter often involved him in disputes and that he had tried to step away from managing the group but was repeatedly drawn back into their conflicts.

The duo are now focusing on their solo careers.

Rising to fame in the early 2000s, the duo  were once recognised as one of Africa’s most successful music groups.
