Henry Okoye, the eldest brother of the defunct music duo P-Square, says their late mother, Josephine Okoye, did not want Jude Okoye to manage the group. In interviews, Henry recounts that during the brothers’ early music career he acted as a sponsor and supporter, including funding activities and attending performances.

Henry speaks from the family’s residence in Plateau State, saying Jude was not present when the brothers began and that Jude’s later involvement disrupted earlier arrangements. He also alleges that Jude dismissed an agreement that would have given him a 20% share and says Jude’s actions led to people being “chased away” from the group. He expresses disappointment with Paul Okoye’s reported change in attitude and says he is open to a reunion, though he doubts it will happen.

The outlets also provide related background: Josephine Okoye died in July 2012 after heart surgery in India. Since then, P-Square has split and reunited multiple times, with a major fallout reported in 2024. Separately, Jude Okoye was arraigned in 2025 by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over alleged fraud, and the matter is ongoing in court.
