Henry Okoye has accused his younger brother, Jude, of withholding his entitlement from royalties generated by P-Square’s music.

Henry, who is the immediate elder brother of Jude and P-Square members Paul and Peter Okoye, made the allegation while discussing the prolonged dispute surrounding the music duo.

DAILY POST reports that Peter, one half of P-Square, had previously accused his twin brother, Paul, and Jude, their immediate elder brother and former group manager, of diverting royalties belonging to the group.

Peter also alleged that Paul and Jude betrayed and mistreated him.

Jude, who had claimed ownership of the P-Square name, rejected the allegations and subsequently sued Peter in an effort to prevent him from performing the duo’s songs.

Several Nigerians, including celebrities, rallied behind Peter in support of his solo career, while Jude faced criticism from some members of the public, with some referring to him as “Judas Iscariot.”

However, during his first public interview on the controversy, Henry alleged that Jude had withheld the 20 per cent share he was entitled to as a sponsor of P-Square.

Henry further accused Jude of creating division between the singers and other members of the family, alleging that Jude became involved with the group only after P-Square had already achieved significant popularity.

He also revealed that their mother initially objected to Jude becoming the group’s manager because of what he described as Jude’s “evil personality.”

According to Henry, it was Tony Okoye, another brother who was also associated with the group, who persuaded their mother to permit Jude to assume the managerial position.

Henry said: “Before they started, Paul and Peter promised me 20 per cent of each of their songs’ royalties.

“I’m the sponsor of P-Square from the time they started until they started making money. When they started, they promised me 20 per cent on each of their music.”

When the interviewer asked if he had been receiving the 20 per cent, Henry responded:

“No, nobody has given me. After two or three years, I asked them why I had not been seeing the agreed 20 per cent that they said they would give me as the sponsor who was putting money into their career growth and development.

“Before I knew it, Jude got up and asked what I meant by 20 per cent and for what purpose. He said they had been travelling to different countries by air and asked what would happen if they had a plane crash. He said I would just be there enjoying myself.

“I told him, ‘Jude, you were not there when we started P-Square, but you came later and tried to chase everybody away.’ And he did it.

“Tony Okoye, the immediate elder brother of P-Square, was one of their dancers. Tony is in Lagos, but nobody is hearing about him. This is the first time I’m coming out on social media.

“Our last-born, Mary, is also in Lagos, but Jude did not let them get help from P-Square.”
