Nollywood actor and singer Gabriel Afolayan has stepped into the ongoing P-Square family feud, revealing that the tensions tearing the group apart are far from new.

In a post shared on his X account on Friday, August 7, 2026, Afolayan stated that he had firsthand knowledge of the brothers' conflicts dating back to 2005, when the group was recording during their "Get Squared" era at EKO Reelmix Studio in Lagos.

According to the actor, who apparently had studio access during that formative period, the root of the dispute was never personal in the beginning. It was about music. Peter and Paul Okoye allegedly clashed repeatedly over which songs would make it onto their albums, with each twin pushing for his own compositions to receive more attention.

Jude Okoye at the Centre of It All

Afolayan pointed directly at Jude Okoye, the group's elder brother and long-time manager, as the figure who ultimately decided the song selection outcomes. He suggested this pattern of Jude acting as the final arbiter created a quiet but persistent resentment within the group across their entire prime era.

"This fight don tey no be today," Afolayan wrote plainly, using street language to stress that these fractures ran deep.

He also hinted at the personal dimension, particularly involving the brothers' marriages, though he stopped short of elaborating. "The marriage thing, chai talk bokku..." he added cryptically.
