Peter Okoye threatens to sue elder brother Jude

By Ahmed Boulor

Trouble seems to be brewing again between the Okoye brothers as Peter has threatened to sue his elder brother Jude for promoting a P Square show in Congo instead of promoting just Rudeboy, his twin brother Paul.

Peter who has decided to go solo also threatened legal action against Jude while also disassociating himself from the show and called on his fans in Congo and all over the world to ignore the proposed P Square show.

Peter said he never endorsed the show which is reportedly scheduled to be staged on the 17th of August in Kinshasa noting that he is not part of the show booked by his former manager Jude.

Read Peters comments about the Congo show below;

“Disclaimer: This goes out to all my Fans in Congo Specifically and the entire world in General. My attention has been drawn to a much publicised show holding today 8th July, 2016(VIP SHOW) and tomorrow 9th July, 2016, (in Goma) and on the 17th of August in Kinshasa wherein the name Psquare was used maliciously and mischievously to garner patronage and huge fans attendance as against the stage name Rudeboy which is used when my Twin Brother, Paul, and Co-owner of the stage name P Square performs alone.

“I never endorsed the usage of my name as the contractual terms presented were not favourable to me, thus I am not part of the show booked by our former manager Jude and I wholeheartedly disassociate myself from the unauthorized use of my Co-owned stage name (Psquare) and images for promotional and economic reasons without my express written consent or permission. Contrary to the wild allegations making the rounds that I could not attend the show because I am sick and missed my flight along with my crew members, I wish to counter same and state categorically, that I am 101% healthy.

“I shall take appropriate legal actions in the nearest future against the promoters and the sponsors of these events for character assassination and malicious misrepresentation. Thank you. MR.P (Peter of P Square).” He posted on social media.
