The long-running P-Square family feud has intensified after Jude Okoye publicly dismissed fresh allegations from his younger brother, Peter Okoye, that he diverted more than $1.2 million in music royalties.

Peter had recently released a tell-all video series revisiting their long-running dispute, alleging that Jude secretly registered another company to receive P-Square's royalties without his knowledge.

He also claimed he had been repeatedly denied access to the group's financial records and backend accounts, and accused Jude of controlling the duo's earnings for years.

"Just come out and cry online, Nigerians will believe you. Does the email have a backup date? Where do managers earn more than the artist they are managing? Why would a senior brother stay and watch two twin brothers part ways? Something might be fishy in this P-Square matter."

ROZZA exclaimed:

"A senior brother that couldn't hold a family together, show leadership and be an inspiration to his siblings. His greed made the sharing formula all wrong from inception. Wouldn't surprise me if he started the whole 'Paul's doing all the work' talk that created the enmity."
