Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, famously known as one half of the music duo PSquare, and his wife, Ifeoma Okoye, have once again shown solidarity with his elder brother, Jude Okoye, amidst his ongoing legal battles.
The couple, accompanied by their daughter, attended Jude’s son’s 4th birthday celebration. Videos shared on Paul’s Instagram stories captured moments from the intimate event, highlighting the family bond between Paul and Jude. However, the absence of Peter Okoye, Paul’s twin brother, and his family did not go unnoticed by fans and followers.
Fans quickly took to social media to comment on the apparent division within the Okoye family. Many speculated about the strained relationship between Peter, Paul, and Jude:
-
@Maksey: “Where is Peter?”
-
@Fema_fabrics_hub: “Na, this Jude and Paul are supposed to be twins.”
-
@Divine_just1: “Divided family. Rude boy and Jude, then Peter and Anita Okoye.”
-
@Megatron_okk: “Peter and his wife are close to Paul’s first wife and children, while the second wife is close to Jude and family.”
The feud between the Okoye brothers took another turn earlier this year when Peter reportedly filed a lawsuit against Jude, leading to Jude’s custody by the EFCC. During Jude’s court appearances, Paul stood by his elder brother, criticizing Peter for allegedly orchestrating Jude’s detention.
Paul later shaded Peter on social media after Jude’s release, remarking on the failure of Peter’s alleged attempts to hinder his elder brother’s bail.
This rift also extended to other family events. When Paul and Ifeoma dedicated their child in church earlier this year, Jude and his wife were present, while Peter was conspicuously absent.
Responding to the situation, Peter has previously expressed his frustration over being marginalized. In an Instagram post, he accused Paul of teaming up with Jude to humiliate and sideline him, rather than working together to reclaim their top spot in the music industry.
Meanwhile, Jude addressed the matter during an Instagram Live session, accusing Peter of disrespect and asserting that he has had no involvement with PSquare for the past eight years. He questioned Peter’s tendency to involve him in personal disputes.
The ongoing tensions between the Okoye brothers highlight the challenges of maintaining family unity amidst professional and personal differences. Despite their fractured relationship, fans continue to hope for reconciliation within one of Nigeria’s most iconic music families.
