Amid the ongoing public scuttle within the Okoye family, Henry Okoye, the elder brother of music superstar duo, P-Square, has accused their former manager and brother, Jude Okoye, of being the mastermind behind the family’s longstanding division. Soul& R&B
Speaking during an interview on Friday night, August 7, Henry alleged that Jude’s character and actions tore the family apart, claiming that their late mother had initially warned against allowing Jude to manage the group.
He rejected the narrative that Jude built P-Square’s career, insisting that the family’s support for Peter and Paul began long before Jude became involved.
“When they started this music, they were looking for sponsors. They didn’t get a sponsor. When I started sponsoring them, Jude was not there. Celebrities& Entertainment News
“We would travel from state to state for music. They used my car for flyers. I did bodyguard with them. We were supporting them as a family, but we knew it was Peter and Paul that owned it,” he said.
According to him, Jude only joined the management of the group after the twins had begun making progress in the music industry.
“Before you could know it, Jude came in. We wanted to allow Jude to manage them, but my mum disagreed. She said she knew the kind of character Jude had,” Henry alleged.
He further claimed that after Jude assumed management of the group, the brothers gradually became distant from the rest of the family.
“What happened at last is that they started running away from everybody. We never knew that it was Jude that was causing the problem.”
Henry further revealed he had an initial agreement to receive a percentage from the group’s earnings for his early contributions, saying,
“Before they started all these things going on, they promised me 20% in each show, but nobody has given me.
“Before I knew it, Jude said, ‘ What do I mean by 20%? For what?’ He said they are flying all around, that what if they have a plane crash, I’ll be enjoying myself. I told him that he wasn’t there when we started, but he came now and is trying to chase everybody away, including Tony, P-Square’s immediate elder brother who was one of their dancers.”
Henry alleged that Jude severed ties with him and ignored other struggling relatives, including their youngest sister.
“Almost a year to two years, I’m not talking to Jude. He doesn’t talk to me,” Henry claimed.
