Henry Okoye, elder brother of music duo P-Square, has accused their former manager and brother, Jude Okoye, of being behind the long-running division in the Okoye family.
Speaking during an interview on Friday night, August 7, Henry said their late mother had warned against letting Jude manage the group.
"Before you could know it, Jude came in. We wanted to allow Jude to manage them, but my mum disagreed. She said she knew the kind of character Jude had," Henry alleged.
He rejected the narrative that Jude built P-Square's career, insisting that family support for Peter and Paul began long before Jude got involved.
"When they started this music, they were looking for sponsors. They didn't get a sponsor. When I started sponsoring them, Jude was not there.
"We would travel from state to state for music. They used my car for flyers. I did bodyguard with them. We were supporting them as a family, but we knew it was Peter and Paul that owned it," he said.
According to Henry, Jude only joined the group's management after the twins had already begun making progress in the industry, and things changed from there.
"What happened at last is that they started running away from everybody. We never knew that it was Jude that was causing the problem," he said.
Henry also spoke about an earlier agreement to receive a percentage of the group's earnings for his early contributions, which he said was never honoured.
"Before they started all these things going on, they promised me 20% in each show, but nobody has given me.
"Before I knew it, Jude said, 'What do I mean by 20%? For what?' He said they are flying all around, that what if they have a plane crash, I'll be enjoying myself.
“I told him that he wasn't there when we started, but he came now and is trying to chase everybody away, including Tony, P-Square's immediate elder brother who was one of their dancers," he said.
Henry claimed Jude cut ties with him and ignored other struggling relatives, including their youngest sister.
"Almost a year to two years, I'm not talking to Jude. He doesn't talk to me," Henry said.
