On February 26, 2025, Jude Okoye, former manager of the iconic Nigerian music duo P-Square, faced seven counts of money laundering totaling ₦1.38 billion and other currencies in a Lagos court. Pleading 'not guilty,' Jude's trial is set for April 14, 2025, amidst a backdrop of family tensions that have escalated into a significant legal confrontation. The feud traces back to 2017 when P-Square disbanded over disputes regarding royalties and financial management, with Jude accused of mismanaging the group's earnings. In August 2023, Peter Okoye filed a petition with the EFCC, alleging that Jude and his wife diverted millions into a secret company, Northside Music Ltd. Jude has vehemently denied these claims, while Paul Okoye remains caught in the middle, reflecting the deepening rift within the family. This case not only threatens the legacy of P-Square but also highlights the complexities of fame, fortune, and familial loyalty in the music industry.
