Mr P Alleges $1.2m Royalty Payments Were Redirected in P-Square Dispute

Mr P Alleges $1.2m Royalty Payments Were Redirected in P-Square Dispute

Singer Peter Okoye, known as Mr P, has released the third part of his tell-all series on the long-running dispute involving his twin brother, Paul Okoye, and their former manager, Jude Okoye. Mr P alleged that he discovered he was no longer a signatory to Northside Entertainment’s bank account while seeking the company’s statement. He said further checks raised questions about royalty payments and how funds from music aggregators were shared. He also alleged that, after P-Square split in 2017, royalties due to Northside Entertainment were redirected to Northside Music. According to him, documents showed that more than $1.2 million was paid into the latter account between 2017 and 2023 without his consent. He said he is speaking publicly to present his side after years of silence.

What kind of checks should partners have in place when a business account and royalty payments are involved?

Do you mean internal approval controls, or independent audits before royalty funds move?

It is sad seeing a family and music partnership that lasted this long become a public dispute over money and control.

The allegation is serious, but a tell-all series alone may not settle it; the account records and agreements will matter.

Separate signatory rights, regular royalty statements, and independent account reviews could prevent this kind of confusion in creative partnerships.
