The Afrobeats singer who sued his older brother, Jude Okoye, for allegedly using a secret company to divert funds from the P-Square group, shared details of the dispute in a series of posts on his X account.
Replying to a critic who demanded that he drop the twin tag, Peter Okoye explained that he solely created, earned and owns the name.
"Exactly why some of y'all are pained. I discovered the name, I earned it, and now I own it 100. It's a game of chess i remember we are still in court even as of yesterday! with time, you'll understand. Una go dey alright las las."
Detailing the feud between him and his brothers, Mr P described the situation as an extreme sibling deceit, warning that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission will soon present exposing documents in court.
"More than a ganged up! I call it betrayal of the highest level. The truth has a way of coming out! wait until the EFCC starts releasing documents in court. Una go dey alright las las."
He also dismissed rumours that a sister-in-law instigated the theft, stating that the financial exploitation began before any of the brothers were married.
"Before you drag any woman" into this! No woman directed or advised anyone to steal from what I worked for over the years. Stop pushing that narrative to suit your agenda. None of us were even married 20 something years ago when this whole betrayal and stealing started! I said what I said."
