Nigerian music star Peter Okoye of the iconic duo Psquare has fired back at his elder brother, Jude Okoye, following Jude’s remarks about former artists under his record label.
Jude Okoye recently stated that artists who left his label, including Peter and Cynthia Morgan, were once influential but allegedly fell from grace due to greed. He accused them of failing to take responsibility for their struggles.
Responding via Instagram, Peter challenged Jude’s narrative, emphasizing that respect is earned, not demanded. He denied being “shouldered” by Jude, clarifying that his elder brother served as Psquare’s manager but was sacked like two previous managers.
JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE OLDER DOESN’T MEAN YOU DESERVE RESPECT. RESPECT IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN,”
Peter began. He further disclosed that his solo career has been more financially and personally rewarding compared to his time with Psquare, as earnings were divided among three parties, including their manager.
Peter accused Jude of wishing for his failure and reminded him of past controversies, including legal disputes and accusations of theft.
I stayed real, stayed strong, and stopped letting people walk over me. Respect me, I respect you. Ignore me, I ignore you. Cross me, and I cut you off. Life isn’t about begging for fair treatment; it’s about matching energy,” Peter concluded.
Adding a humorous twist, Peter shared a video of his luxurious home, sarcastically praying that his type of “brokenness” finds his fans. “I pray for this type of ‘broke or brokenness’ to locate you in Jesus’ name,” he wrote.
Peter recently penned a heartfelt note to his younger self, urging himself to trust less, believe in his worth, and understand that true family lies in loyalty, not blood.
Last month, he sent a subtle message about toxic family dynamics, advising against staying silent when family becomes the source of pain. “Love doesn’t manipulate, loyalty doesn’t betray, and family doesn’t steal from you,” Peter remarked, reflecting on his own experiences.
