In a stunning turn of events, Peter Okoye of the iconic Nigerian music duo PSquare has reignited the long-simmering tensions that fractured one of Africa’s most beloved musical acts. With a series of explosive tweets that have taken social media by storm, Peter—known to fans as Mr. P—has accused family members of deceit, betrayal, and financial manipulation that, he claims, has been deliberately kept from public knowledge for years.
“They made y’all believe my wife was the problem,” Peter tweeted, referencing years of speculation and media coverage that painted his wife, Lola Omotayo-Okoye, as the divisive force behind PSquare’s 2017 split. But now, he says the real story is far more sinister—and deeply personal.
“Meanwhile, his wife owned 80% of the company that diverted PSquare’s proceeds for years,” Peter claimed, without directly naming names but clearly pointing fingers within his own family circle. The bombshell accusation has sent fans into a frenzy, many of whom are now questioning the true nature of the brotherly fallout that brought the PSquare era to an abrupt and heartbreaking end.
The tweet thread that ignited the firestorm began with Peter referencing singer Cynthia Morgan—another artist who has had her share of public disputes and grievances with the Okoye camp. Peter’s decision to suddenly mention her name after years of silence was shocking in itself. But it was what followed that really peeled back the curtain.
“Now y’all are shocked and surprised to see my tweet on Cynthia Morgan after so many years,” he wrote. “Because some of you were blinded by the narrative they created and made y’all believe my wife was the problem in order for them to continue doing their evil acts behind closed doors.”
With hashtags like #UnaThiefAbiUnaNoThief and #FamilyDoesNotStealFromFamily, Peter’s tweets weren’t just vague commentary—they were direct hits at those he believes wronged him, financially and emotionally. Fans who once assumed that the Okoye family’s internal drama was simply artistic differences are now being confronted with the possibility of a deeply entangled web of betrayal and financial subterfuge.
The most explosive revelation was Peter’s assertion that “his wife owned 80% of the company that diverted PSquare’s proceeds for years.” This allegation not only casts doubt on the financial fairness within PSquare’s business dealings but also hints at an orchestrated scheme that left Peter on the outside of his own empire. Though he stops short of naming the alleged individuals involved, the implications are loud and clear.
“If it was my wife Lola,” he wrote, “by now, the media would have been using her as a headline.” This line struck a nerve with many, sparking renewed conversations around how the media and fans have treated Lola Omotayo over the years—often unfairly blaming her for the rift between Peter and his twin brother Paul Okoye (Rudeboy). Many are now wondering if she was the scapegoat in a much larger family saga.
Peter’s latest comments mark a bold shift in tone. While past interviews and statements were typically diplomatic or vague, this outburst reads like the final straw for someone who has been silenced for too long. “I will continue speaking my truth,” he vowed, signaling that this may be just the beginning of a deeper exposé.
Fans have reacted with a mix of shock, support, and speculation. While some urge Peter to let the past go and focus on the future, others are rallying behind him with newfound understanding. “We owe Lola an apology,” one fan tweeted, echoing a sentiment that’s quickly gaining traction across platforms.
But not everyone is convinced. Skeptics are questioning the timing and intent of Peter’s revelations. Some are speculating whether this is an emotional outburst or a calculated move to shift blame. The Okoye brothers have a long history of reconciliation and fallout, with each cycle bringing new allegations and renewed bitterness. Could this be another chapter in the family’s painful and public saga, or is this truly Peter’s moment of reckoning?
For many long-time fans of PSquare, the tweetstorm reopens wounds they thought had healed. The duo—once known for electrifying performances, chart-topping hits, and unbreakable brotherhood—shocked the world when they parted ways in 2017, ending what was arguably Nigeria’s most successful musical partnership. Since then, both Peter and Paul have launched solo careers, but the shadow of PSquare looms large over their individual legacies.
What’s especially heartbreaking about Peter’s claims is the suggestion that familial love and trust were exploited for personal gain. “Family does not steal from family,” he declared—a line that hits hard in a culture that holds family bonds sacred. If true, his statements paint a painful picture of betrayal not just by business partners, but by blood.
As of now, there’s been no public response from Paul Okoye or other family members implicated in Peter’s accusations. But silence, in this case, speaks volumes. Whether out of legal caution or emotional fatigue, the lack of rebuttal only fuels the intrigue and suspicion.
This story is far from over. If Peter continues to “speak his truth,” as promised, the Nigerian music industry—and the entire African entertainment landscape—may be in for some serious revelations. For now, one thing is certain: the real PSquare breakup story is far more complicated, messy, and human than anyone imagined.
And as the dust begins to settle, fans are left asking the same haunting question Peter posed so boldly: #UnaThiefAbiUnaNoThief?
