Veteran musician Oladapo Oyebanjo, aka D’banj has spoken out about the ongoing family feud among the famous P-Square brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, and their older brother and former manager, Jude Okoye.
The family feud has become a matter of public concern, particularly due to a serious legal issue involving allegations of fraud totaling $1 million.
In an interview with Adesope Live, D’banj urged the federal government to step in and help resolve the conflict between the brothers.
He highlighted that Peter Okoye is currently suing Jude and his company, Northside Entertainment, claiming he has been cheated.
The situation intensified when Paul Okoye publicly supported Jude, suggesting that Peter was only trying to tarnish Jude’s reputation.
D’banj expressed his sadness over the situation and emphasized the need for the brothers to consider talking things over.
“The saga between Peter and Jude is a very sad one,” D’banj said. “When you want to fight, you only know the beginning, you don’t know the end.”
He mentioned that he recently had a conversation with Peter, where they discussed the ongoing disputes.
D’banj believes that there is still a chance for the brothers to reconcile, especially if they are willing to communicate.
He noted that even if their current conflict is over money, it’s important for them to talk it out.
The singer reminded everyone that the brothers own a valuable music catalog, which could be beneficial in finding a solution.
“If it’s even a money issue, this is the best time to talk. You guys own your catalogue, and that’s gold.

“People have been trying to buy mine for over 10 years, and I haven’t sold. Same thing with P-Square — their catalogue is massive.”
D’banj suggested that even if they can’t perform together again, reaching a respectful agreement would still be possible.
D’banj also called on prominent figures, including the government, to intervene as they have in similar situations in the past.
He recalled a time when a well-known football player, Jay Jay Okocha, had issues with a bank, and a former president stepped in to help him.
He believes that the same type of support could help resolve the Okoye brothers’ issue.
D’banj finished his remarks by appealing to respected individuals and mentors in the brothers’ lives to help them find a way to make peace and move forward.
