Nigerian singer Peter Okoye has tackled his older brother, Jude Okoye.
According to the former member of the dissolved group P-Square, Jude wants him broke.
Peter took to his Facebook page on Monday where he expressed that his solo journey has been a blessing to him.
His elder brother Jude Okoye had previously called him out for being greedy making use of his platform.
“They all have one thing in common: They were big, influential and successful when I was shouldering them with my platform until they got greedy and wanted to eat alone and so left. They never complained afterwards. Rather they bragged about their ‘new found freedom’ and ‘making it all on their own’. Years down the line they fell off the wagon and became broke and instead of accepting responsibility and accountability for their choices, they are pointing fingers at the same person they left for their ‘freedom’,” he wrote.
Peter then responded, stating that his words is the same reason why he is being investigated by the EFCC.
“Calling me broke or wishing I was broke has been your wish. These are the exact same words you told the EFCC officials. And you ended up getting locked up in prison. Of course, you have to come up with another narrative. You were shouldering who?. Agbaya, you were employed as a manager, and you got sacked the same as the other 2 managers before you. Period!,” Peter wrote.
He then emphasised that he makes more money as a solo artist than he did while in the group. Peter also noted that he has more peace of mind by working alone.
“I understand this may not sit well with some people, but truth be told, aside from my businesses, what I now earn on my own as a solo artiste today is more than what I used to earn after splitting three ways as PSQUARE plus the so-called manager. I am talking about both shows and endorsements. It really makes me question what’s the point of sharing with people who stole from you, betrayed you, and still discriminate against your efforts!?. This solo journey has been a blessing—more rewarding and profitable, both financially and personally, no doubt. And it has also brought peace of mind. And if you don’t relate or it doesn’t make sense to you, no worries—it’s not meant to. But I am grateful,” he wrote.
Peter Okoye did not hold back in his response as he stated that he will not act civil when being disrespected.
“I have stopped playing nice and being the matured one while getting disrespected!. I started treating people exactly how they treat me. Respect me, I respect you! Ignore me, I ignore you! Cross me, I cut you off, simple. Life isn’t about begging people for fair treatment! It’s about matching energy; it is what it is,” he wrote.
