Music star and former P-Square member Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has denied claims that a woman is responsible for the renewed tension within the Okoye family, saying the disagreement is rooted in long-standing issues of trust, loyalty and control of their music business.
In posts shared on Wednesday on his X account, Mr P addressed public speculation linking women to the family’s conflict.
“Before you drag any woman into this! No woman directed or advised anyone to steal from what I worked for over the years. Stop pushing that narrative to suit your agenda.”
He said the dispute started long before marriage entered the picture.
“None of us were even married 20 something years ago when this whole betrayal and stealing started! I said what I said.”
Mr P, who has previously spoken about distancing himself from family members over alleged betrayal, said he has focused on his mental health despite public reactions.
“Yes, it’s painful. And yes, it’s my loss. But no one should keep reminding me that I was betrayed and used by my own blood for over 20 years plus.”
He added that setting boundaries was necessary for his peace of mind.
“Even if my parents were alive and supported this kind of betrayal, I’d still choose to step back, cut them off, and protect my peace. Boundaries are necessary! Blood isn’t thicker than my peace of mind.”
He also confirmed that the matter remains in court.
“Now that I’ve uncovered the betrayal that has been going on for over 20 years plus, suddenly we’re blood? No… it doesn’t work like that. We are still in court!”
The comments come amid continued attention on the long running rift involving Peter, his twin brother Paul Okoye, and their elder brother Jude Okoye.
In earlier remarks, Peter also announced a change in how he marks his birthday, saying he would no longer celebrate November 18, the shared date with his twin brother. He said he would now observe November 30 as his new birthday celebration date, describing it as a personal decision.
