P-square and their unending family drama

Once Africa’s most revered pop brotherhood, the dynamic duo P-Square has now been reduced to a music-business case study.

Peter Okoye’s fresh video series revived allegations over royalties, catalogue access and financial records, while older brother and former manager Jude Okoye insists the disputed payments and backend data were properly handled and are already before the courts.

Paul, however, has remained above the fray, electing to take a seemingly neutral stand.

P-Square is celebrated for helping define an era when Nigerian pop music first took over Africa’s mainstream music. Their latest rupture asks an uncomfortable question: should the sacredness of family not come before rights and royalties?

Netizens have been sharing their opinions online.

They shld both stop these things, abeg As a man, you dont wash your dirty clothes in public This thing dey pain me ojare Pple wey suppose start work together to push their carrier to next level, nw wey everything don advance. This era no be like then wey music no dey pay well nah. – @AjJulux89460

Let me ask you a question, why is it that P Square always dropped videos with audio the same time. Their videos sold more than their audios. It was majorly the videos people were into. It’s was more of the choreography. Ask yourself who was behind it. – @FanenAtule32903

Peter has more ig followers than him like even 3m more than him so what’s your take bout that too – @Issa289328

My take on it is, @rudeboypsquare does only music and real estate (which is passive income) but  @PeterPsquare has about 4 brands that actively needs his attention so, its not like Peter is bad, I would never discredit any because they’re both great – @LiteNiger

Numbers you mentioned – let’s check them. After split, neither of them has had a proper P-Square level hit. Last time I checked, Reason With Me is not bigger than Personally or Do Me. So what numbers are you looking at? Spotify wrapped for your street? –  @BelloAdebayo20
