Legendary Afrobeats singer D’banj has passionately called on the federal government to step in and help resolve the ongoing conflict between the famous music duo P-Square, Peter and Paul Okoye and their older brother and ex-manager, Jude Okoye. The longstanding family dispute has once again made headlines, following Peter’s legal action against Jude and his company, Northside Entertainment, over allegations of financial misconduct.
Peter Okoye filed a lawsuit accusing Jude of defrauding him, escalating tensions between the brothers. In response, Paul Okoye publicly supported Jude, dismissing the accusations and claiming Peter was attempting to damage their older brother’s reputation. The situation has since spiraled into a public controversy, with fans and industry stakeholders voicing their concerns.
In a recent interview with Adesope Live, D’banj spoke on the issue, voicing his disappointment over the fallout and encouraging all involved to work toward reconciliation. He emphasized that the impact of their legacy should not be destroyed by personal grievances and stressed the importance of open dialogue and mediation.
D’banj described the conflict between Peter and Jude as deeply unfortunate. “When you start a fight, you never truly know how it will end, whether you’re right or wrong. What matters now is the legacy that God has built through them. I’m confident that with honest conversation, there’s still an opportunity to resolve things.
D’banj revealed that he recently had a conversation with Peter and felt there’s still hope for reconciliation. He also emphasized the commercial potential of P-Square’s music catalogue, comparing it to his own. “Global music executives have tried to buy my catalogue for years, and I held onto it because I know its worth. P-Square’s catalogue is massive they can still come to an agreement even if they don’t perform as a group anymore.”
Calling on leaders and mentors to step in, D’banj suggested that someone with national influence possibly the federal government could mediate. He referenced an incident from years ago involving football legend Jay Jay Okocha, who lost money when a bank collapsed. According to D’banj, then-President Olusegun Obasanjo reportedly intervened, ensuring Okocha was compensated.
“If it’s truly a financial disagreement, then institutions like the Bank of Industry or other relevant bodies can step in and help them structure an agreement,” D’banj added. “What’s important is protecting the legacy and ensuring the brothers find peace.”
His appeal has since stirred reactions among fans, many of whom echoed the call for unity and reconciliation among the once-unbreakable musical trio.
