VeryDarkMan Reveals Peter Claimed Jude Scammed Phyno in Okoye Feud

VeryDarkMan has weighed in on the long-running Okoye family dispute involving the former P-Square members, sharing what he describes as everything he knows about the saga between Peter Okoye (Mr P), Paul Okoye (Rudeboy), and their elder brother Jude Okoye.

In a recent widely circulated social media video (including clips shared and discussed on August 7, 2026), the activist and influencer said he was sharing his perspective and information about the ongoing rift. One notable claim highlighted in coverage and shares of the video is that Peter Okoye allegedly told him Jude had also scammed the rapper Phyno.

Peter and Paul Okoye rose to fame as the twin duo P-Square, managed for years by their older brother Jude. The group first split publicly around 2017 amid disagreements over management, creative control, finances, and decision-making. A high-profile reunion in 2021 briefly brought them back together, but tensions resurfaced. By 2024, the split was confirmed again, with public exchanges, legal actions, and accusations intensifying.

Key flashpoints have included:

• Allegations of financial irregularities, diverted royalties, undeclared accounts, and disputes over companies such as Northside Entertainment and Northside Music.

• Claims involving property (including a US deal in Atlanta), shareholding structures, and access to music catalog proceeds (such as specific royalty payments).

• Personal and family grievances, including references to their late mother, threats, physical altercations, and broader trust breakdowns.

• Legal developments, including EFCC involvement, petitions, and court proceedings related to money-laundering and fraud allegations against Jude and associated entities (Jude has faced charges involving substantial sums; aspects of the cases remain contested, with varying testimony and denials).

Peter has released a multi-part video series in recent days detailing his account, covering alleged attempts to sideline him on property and business matters, threats, royalty exclusions, the nature of the 2021 reunion (which he has called inauthentic in parts), and how law enforcement became involved via petitions. Paul and Jude have pushed back in various statements over time, with denials of wrongdoing, counter-claims about contributions and management, and suggestions that public airing of grievances serves other purposes (such as attention). Outsiders, including musicians like Daddy Showkey, have publicly questioned the prolonged nature of the feud.

VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse) is known for high-profile social media commentaries, exposés, and commentary on Nigerian public figures, institutions, and celebrity disputes. His latest contribution frames the P-Square/Okoye story as one of success, breakups, reunions, and unresolved deeper issues beyond simple family disagreement. He presents it as drawing on information he has, including direct accounts attributed to Peter.

The Phyno-related claim stands out in early shares of the video as a new or amplified detail in public discussion of Jude’s alleged dealings beyond the immediate family. As with many of VeryDarkMan’s interventions, it has drawn both attention and criticism—some questioning his insertion into private family matters or the completeness of the picture he presents.

The Okoye brothers’ disputes have repeatedly attracted intense public interest in Nigeria’s entertainment scene because of P-Square’s cultural impact, the scale of the financial claims, and the personal nature of the allegations. Court processes, EFCC actions, and social media series have kept the story alive for years, with fans often divided and calls for reconciliation frequently ignored or unsuccessful.

VeryDarkMan’s video adds another layer of commentary at a moment when Peter’s own detailed releases are circulating. As is typical in such high-stakes public family and business conflicts, many specific claims remain contested, subject to ongoing or past legal scrutiny, and dependent on whose account is being heard. Independent verification of private conversations or alleged third-party scams (such as the Phyno reference) is limited in public reporting so far.

The situation continues to evolve through social media, interviews, and legal channels. Observers note that prolonged public airing risks further damaging personal relationships and professional legacies that once defined one of Afrobeats’ most successful acts.
