Peter Okoye Says Jude Filed Lawsuit to Stop Him Performing P-Square Songs

Peter Okoye Says Jude Filed Lawsuit to Stop Him Performing P-Square Songs

Peter Okoye, known as Mr P, says his elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, has filed a fresh lawsuit seeking to stop him from performing songs released under the P-Square brand. Peter said the issue came up during a recent court hearing in their dispute over ownership of the group’s music and identity. He challenged Jude’s alleged claim that bringing P-Square to Lagos in 2005 made him the owner of the brand. According to Peter, P-Square had been performing and had released its first album before then. He also claimed he paid for their first home in Lagos and has receipts to support his account.

How do fans separate the music from this family and ownership dispute when both sides are tied to the P-Square name?

Exactly, the P-Square name makes the music and the dispute hard to separate for listeners.

It is sad seeing a dispute between brothers keep returning to court, especially around songs many people associate with both of them.

Peter's claim is serious, but the lawsuit itself does not settle who has the right to perform the P-Square catalogue.

The clearest path may be for the parties to publicly clarify performance rights once the court process addresses the ownership questions.
