P-Square, Jude Okoye and the Family-Business Dispute

P-Square’s rise in the early 2000s made Paul and Peter Okoye symbols of unity in Nigerian music. Their hit songs, performances and influence helped take Afrobeats to audiences across Africa and the diaspora. But their relationship later broke down amid public disputes over management, royalties, catalogue ownership and business control. At the centre of much of the controversy was their elder brother and former manager, Jude Okoye, as questions grew around the creation and ownership structure of Northside Inc. The dispute shows the risks of mixing family and business without clear agreements and transparency. Although the twins have reunited for performances, unresolved questions of trust, ownership and management continue to cast a shadow over the group’s future.
