Fans Back Peter in P-Square Feud, Demand Paul’s Response

The renewed family crisis has dominated social media after Peter released a series of videos detailing his version of the events that led to the collapse of P-Square. His claims have attracted sympathy from many fans, who say Paul should respond directly to the allegations instead of allowing the public to hear only one side of the story.

Peter’s video series has focused largely on the management of P-Square’s finances, royalties, business operations and assets. He alleged that Jude secretly incorporated Northside Music Limited and used the company to collect royalties belonging to the group. Peter also accused his twin brother of siding with Jude during the dispute and failing to support him.

The allegations have not been established as facts in court. Jude has denied wrongdoing, while Paul has generally maintained that he believes the allegations against their elder brother are unfounded. Nevertheless, Peter’s disclosures have generated widespread online debate, with many supporters saying his decision to speak publicly has given them a better understanding of the long-running conflict.

Some fans have described Peter as the wronged party and accused Paul and Jude of treating him unfairly. Others have urged caution, arguing that Paul should be allowed to present his own account before Nigerians reach a final conclusion. The split in public opinion shows how deeply fans remain invested in the brothers’ personal and professional relationship.

The controversy has also triggered support from several celebrities and social media personalities. Some public figures rallied behind Peter after Jude made remarks that were perceived as dismissive of his career. Supporters reportedly helped promote Peter’s latest single and increase attention around his video series.

Paul, however, has not engaged in a detailed public exchange with his twin brother. His management company, Fire Department Inc., said he would not participate in public arguments and urged restraint amid the continuing discussions. That position has frustrated some fans, who believe his silence leaves Peter’s claims unanswered.

The brothers’ conflict is not new. P-Square first broke up in 2017 after years of disagreements involving management, finances and creative direction. Their reunion in 2021 generated excitement across Africa, but the reconciliation did not last. Fresh disagreements emerged in 2024, eventually leading to another separation.

The second breakup has been linked to disputes over royalties, ownership, management and trust. Peter has accused Jude of financial misconduct and alleged that money belonging to P-Square was diverted through another company. Jude has denied the allegations, while the controversy contributed to an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission investigation and a court case.

According to reports, Jude is facing charges involving alleged financial transactions valued at more than N1.38 billion, $1 million and £34,537.59. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The legal proceedings mean that some of the allegations may ultimately be examined through the courts rather than social media.

The latest dispute has also reopened questions about how P-Square’s successful career was managed. The twins built one of Africa’s most popular music groups, producing hit songs and performing to audiences across the continent and internationally. Their success created valuable music catalogues, royalties, properties and commercial interests, making disagreements over ownership and financial records especially sensitive.

Peter and Paul’s supporters have continued to argue online, with each side presenting its own interpretation of the brothers’ history. Some fans want a reconciliation, while others believe the damage caused by the dispute may be too deep to repair. Their elder brother Henry recently expressed doubts that the twins would reconcile, saying the prolonged conflict had caused serious damage to the family relationship.

The public pressure on Paul to respond is therefore growing, but a detailed statement could also deepen the dispute. Any response would likely attract further scrutiny and lead to another round of accusations from both sides.

For now, Peter’s videos have shifted the conversation in his favour among many fans, but the full story remains contested. Until Paul and Jude present their complete accounts, Nigerians are left with competing claims, legal proceedings and a fractured family history that continues to unfold in public.
