P Square

One half of pop star group, P-Square, Peter Okoye, has shed more light into the cause of the apparently irreconcilable spat between himself and his brother, Paul.

In an interview with The NET magazine, ‎Peter said the current spat, which has all but ended the group’s union, ought to have happened two years ago just before the release of their last studio album, Double Trouble.

“What’s happening now should have happened then,” Peter said.

“Four years ago, I told Jude (P-Square’s elder brother and manager) he needs to step down as our manager, because I didn’t ‎want to disrespect him as a brother, but this is business, (and) we have to structure it. And Jude said to me that there’s a way I (should) talk to him, (he threatened to) slap me. So I kept quiet.”

“So, a few hours after,‎ Paul came to me and said if I want to step down it wasn’t a problem, but it meant that he (Paul) would go solo. The first time word got out about P-Square breaking up, a lot of people called us; senators, governors, and people like that.

“In fact, three of us were once in a private jet to go and see someone who wanted to resolve our issues, and we didn’t speak to each other throughout the flight. At the end of the day, I swallowed my pride for peace to reign and allowed Jude to remain as our manager.”

Last month, Peter launched a scathing attack on Jude on Twitter announcing he was no longer the pop group’s manager, adding that whoever does any business with him “does so at their own risk.”

Speaking to The NET magazine, Peter said he had not been on speaking terms with Paul since December 2015.
