Twin brothers Peter Okoye (Mr. P) and Paul Okoye (Rudeboy), along with their elder brother and long-time manager Jude Okoye, have dominated headlines for over a decade due to a series of high-profile breakups, reconciliations, and intense legal battles.
Peter repeatedly accused elder brother Jude Okoye of unfair revenue distribution, secret diversion of royalties, and dictatorial management practices.
Tensions escalated over solo ambitions, featuring rights, song credits, and perceived disrespect toward each twin’s immediate family.
Financial disagreements culminated in petitions to Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding joint account diverted funds and tax compliance.
Reports emerge of a massive disagreement regarding Jude Okoye’s role as manager. Peter demands new management, though the brothers temporarily resolve their differences to release their sixth studio album, Double Trouble.
In 2016, a video leaks showing a physical altercation at their lawyer’s office. By September 2017, Peter officially sends a termination letter to their legal representative, dissolving P-Square. Both launch solo careers as Mr. P and Rudeboy.
After four years of public traded insults and solo releases, the twin brothers publicly embrace, issue apologies to fans, and perform together at a massive 40th birthday concert, officially reviving P-Square.
Paul Okoye confirms in an interview that P-Square has split once again. Peter writes an open letter accusing Paul and Jude of secretly siphoning millions in joint royalties into a private company, leading to an EFCC investigation involving all three brothers.
P-Square is currently inactive as a duo. Both Peter and Paul operate as solo artists while legal and financial audits regarding joint accounts and intellectual property continue through their respective legal teams.
