Jude Okoye Denies Peter Okoye’s $1.2m P-Square Royalty Diversion Allegation

Jude Okoye Denies Peter Okoye’s $1.2m P-Square Royalty Diversion Allegation

Jude Okoye has denied allegations by his brother, Peter Okoye, that he diverted $1.2 million in P-Square royalties or mishandled the group’s finances. In a video response, Jude said the dispute had previously been addressed during EFCC proceedings and is now before a court. He maintained that royalty payments were documented and distributed under existing agreements. Jude said a 2016 email showed Peter requested that his own royalty share be paid directly to him, while the balance due to Jude and Paul Okoye went to the Northside Entertainment account. He also denied removing Peter as a signatory to P-Square bank accounts. He further claimed that catalogue backend records requested by Peter in October 2022 were sent within six days, and that Peter had received royalty payments in US dollars since 2012. Jude accused Peter of attempting to influence public opinion while the case remains in court.

Since Jude says the matter came up during EFCC proceedings and is now in court, what evidence will likely settle the royalty dispute?

Would verified royalty records and payment trails be the clearest way to resolve the claims fairly?

It is sad seeing a family and music partnership with such a big history still dealing with financial allegations publicly.

A video denial is not the same as a full resolution, especially when both sides appear to disagree over how the finances were handled.

The court process should be allowed to run its course; clear records and a formal ruling may reduce speculation around the royalties.
