  • Reacting to the Okoye family feud, famous entertainer D’banj believes national leaders can play a role in resolving the case, just like they’ve done in the past

Veteran Nigerian music star D’banj has finally spoken out on the ongoing feud between the legendary P-Square duo and their elder brother Jude Okoye, urging all parties to pursue peace and understanding.

In a trending interview with Adesope Live, D’banj reacted to the bitter family war, which recently took a legal turn, with Peter Okoye dragging Jude and his label, Northside Entertainment, to court over an alleged $1 million fraud.

The legal firestorm worsened when Paul Okoye (Rudeboy) defended Jude and accused Peter of being out to destroy their brother’s image.

Fans of the iconic Afrobeats group have since taken sides, leaving social media in a heated state of confusion and heartbreak.

But now, D’banj, who is no stranger to fame, family, and music industry drama, is pleading for calm and urging the government to step in if necessary.

D'banj said:

“The saga between Peter and Jude is a very sad one. When you want to fight, you only know the beginning… you don’t know the end.”

The Oliver Twist crooner revealed he recently flew with Peter and had an honest conversation with him.

He said the brothers could still find common ground, especially with the value of their music catalogue, which he described as “gold”.

He said:

“People have been trying to buy my catalogue for over 10 years, and I haven’t sold. P-Square’s catalogue is even bigger.”

D’banj went on to say that even if Peter, Paul, and Jude never work together again, they should reach a dignified agreement to protect their legacy.

Surprisingly, the music icon called on the Federal Government and respected industry figures to mediate the dispute.

He asked:

“When a bank once seized Jay Jay Okocha’s money, President Obasanjo personally intervened because of his service to the nation. Why can’t the same be done here?”
