The long-simmering feud within the Nigerian music group P-Square has intensified, with the brothers' elder sibling, Henry Okoye, publicly accusing their former manager and brother, Jude Okoye, of being the root cause of the family's divisions.

Henry's intervention comes as P-Square members Peter (Mr P) and Paul Okoye are once again estranged, having split in 2017, reconciled in 2021, and separated again in 2024. Peter has released a series of videos detailing his perspective on the group's history and finances, prompting responses from Jude, who denies financial impropriety and accuses Peter of manipulating narratives.

When Paul and Peter started running away from the family, we never knew that it was Jude causing the problem. Jude is not a good person. Heโ€™s my brother, but heโ€™s very bad.

In an interview posted on YouTube, Henry stated he had never publicly addressed the family's issues before. He expressed strong criticism of Jude, calling him "very bad" and uncaring. Henry recounted that Jude did not contact him even when he was hospitalized for two months, contrasting this with Peter and Paul's calls. He also highlighted the struggles of their sister and youngest sibling in Lagos, suggesting Jude shows no concern for them.

"When Paul and Peter started running away from the family, we never knew that it was Jude causing the problem. Jude is not a good person. Heโ€™s my brother, but heโ€™s very bad," Henry declared. He also speculated about Jude's potential influence over Paul, stating, "If you come into the Okoye family, in our family, Paul is the nicest person." Henry asserted that Jude was absent during the group's early days, despite Henry himself sacrificing time, energy, and resources for P-Square.

If you come into the Okoye family, in our family, Paul is the nicest person.
