VIDEO: ‘I Don’t Know If Jude Used Juju On Paul’ — P-Square’s Brother, Henry Okoye

Henry Okoye, the elder brother of Nigerian music duo P-Square, has alleged that Jude Okoye is responsible for some of the problems within the family, while expressing uncertainty over whether he used “juju” on his twin brother, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy.

Henry made the allegations in a now-viral interview while speaking about the prolonged rift involving his younger brothers, Jude, Paul and Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P.

According to him, he and his siblings are eight in number, comprising six boys and two girls, with Paul and Peter being the youngest.

Henry said he had been involved in supporting Paul and Peter from the early stages of their music career, particularly when they struggled to secure sponsors.

He recalled sponsoring the duo before Jude became involved in their music business and helping them attend performances across different states.

Henry said he also accompanied Paul and Peter to music events and provided security alongside his friends, adding that the family supported the twins as their music career began to gain traction.

He said Jude eventually joined the management of the group after the family initially expressed reservations about allowing him to take control.

According to Henry, their late mother was particularly familiar with Jude’s character and initially opposed the arrangement, but eventually agreed after another person involved with P-Square appealed to her.

Henry said the group later became successful financially, but he eventually noticed that Paul and Peter began distancing themselves from other members of the family.

He alleged that the family did not initially realise that Jude was behind the growing problems.

He said, “Jude is never a good person. He’s my brother. But he’s very bad. I’m telling you the truth.”

Henry also accused Jude of being uncaring towards some members of the family, including their younger sister, who he said was living in Lagos and struggling without sufficient support.

He, however, acknowledged that Peter had been making efforts to assist her.

Speaking about his relationship with Jude, Henry said the two brothers had not spoken to each other for nearly two years.

He said the estrangement continued even when he was hospitalised for two months last year, claiming that Peter and Paul contacted him during the period while Jude did not.

Henry described Paul as the nicest person in the family before his alleged change in behaviour, saying he was surprised by how the relationship between the brothers had deteriorated.

He then raised the possibility that Jude may have used juju on Paul, while stressing that he could not confirm the claim.

He said, “I don’t know if Jude used any juju on Paul. I don’t know. I cannot tell.”

Henry’s allegations come amid renewed controversy surrounding the long-running dispute within the Okoye family.

The latest development follows claims by Peter that Jude and Paul pressured his wife, Lola Okoye, to terminate her first pregnancy and questioned the paternity of the unborn child.

Peter made the allegations in the eighth episode of his ongoing video series documenting the family feud.

He also accused their late mother, Josephine Okoye, of confronting Lola during a family meeting at his Omole residence following the birth of his son.

Peter alleged that the meeting involved his mother, Jude, Paul, Tony and some pastors, claiming that Lola was asked to leave him and that the gathering escalated after derogatory remarks were allegedly made about her unborn child.

He further alleged that Jude and Paul attempted to convince Lola to terminate her pregnancy after questioning the paternity of the child.

According to Peter, their mother later accepted that the child was his biological son and instructed his brothers to apologise, but he said the apology did not happen before her death.

Veteran entertainer and activist, Charly Boy, has explained why he helped connect former President Olusegun Obasanjo with Nigerian comedian and content creator, Isbae U, for his popular YouTube programme, Curiosity Made Me Ask.

Charly Boy, in a post on X on Monday, said he facilitated the meeting because he believed in creating opportunities for young Nigerians and encouraging older generations to engage with their ideas and platforms.

According to him, Obasanjo’s appearance on the programme demonstrated what could happen when experienced older Nigerians were willing to step into the world of younger people.

“Sometimes, the greatest thing you fit give a young person no be money. Na opportunity. Look at wetin happen when Baba entered Bae U’s world,” he wrote.

Charly Boy noted that Obasanjo, despite his age and experience, embraced the unconventional format of the programme and matched Isbae U’s energy.

“A man of his age and experience sat down with a young man whose style dey completely different from wetin he is used to. Baba no just sit there looking serious. He matched the energy, played along and showed Nigerians another side of himself,” he said.

Explaining his role in bringing the two together, Charly Boy said he had enough confidence in the young people behind the programme to introduce them to the former president.

“And who helped make that connection happen? CharlyBoy. Fada believed in the young people behind that show enough to pull Baba into their space,” he said.

Obasanjo’s appearance on Curiosity Made Me Ask attracted widespread attention after the former president joined in the programme’s trademark humour and banter with Isbae U.

The host jokingly introduced Obasanjo as his former employee, claiming that he had paid his salary, provided his food and paid his rent at Aso Rock between 1999 and 2007.

Obasanjo played along with the joke while also responding to questions about contemporary Nigerian pop culture, including whether he knew music producer, Don Jazzy; dancer, Poco Lee; and content creator, Carter Efe.

The former president said he did not know them, prompting further banter from the host.

Reflecting on the wider significance of the interview, Charly Boy urged older Nigerians to do more than encourage young people to succeed, saying they should also create opportunities for them.

“To the older generation: don’t only tell young people to succeed. Give them room. Open doors. Recommend them. Trust them with opportunities,” he wrote.

He also urged young Nigerians to prepare themselves to take advantage of opportunities when they come.

“To the younger generation: don’t wait for somebody to hand you a future. Build something worth believing in. When opportunity comes, be ready,” he said.

Charly Boy called for greater collaboration between generations, saying such partnerships could create opportunities for both the young and old.

“When generations support each other, everybody gets to grow. Na so legacy suppose work,” he wrote.

ORB Entertainment Launches Music Distribution Platform For African Artists

ORB Entertainment has officially launched its digital music distribution platform to help independent African artists release music globally, manage their careers and retain control of their earnings.

Founded by Oluwaseun Ridwan Bamiro and headquartered in Lagos, ORB Entertainment provides artists with access to Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, TikTok and more than 150 other supported digital music platforms.

The company said the platform was developed to address some of the barriers faced by independent African musicians, including limited access to professional distribution infrastructure, high entry costs and difficulty managing releases across several services.

Artists can create an account and begin with ORB’s free plan. The platform also offers paid plans with additional tools for artists who require broader release and career-management support. ORB charges no commission on artists’ royalties, allowing musicians on every plan to retain 100 per cent of the royalties received for their music.

“Our goal is to give independent African artists access to the infrastructure they need to build sustainable global careers,” Bamiro said. “Talented musicians should not need to sign away ownership or depend on a traditional record label before they can distribute their work professionally.”

ORB’s release system enables artists to upload their recordings, submit metadata, manage artwork and select supported digital stores through one platform. The company reviews submitted releases within 24 hours, although the final processing and publication schedule remains subject to the requirements of each streaming service.

ORB’s growing catalogue includes “Sure Thing” by M26ix, with additional projects from the artist expected following the platform’s official launch. The company said its work with emerging artists demonstrates how independent African musicians can use accessible distribution infrastructure to reach wider audiences.

Beyond distribution, ORB provides tools designed to assist artists with release preparation, promotional content, audience development and copyright protection. The company said these services are intended to make professional music infrastructure more accessible to emerging creators.

The launch comes as African music continues to attract international listeners and investment. However, many independent musicians still face challenges accessing the technology, industry knowledge and operational support needed to convert that attention into sustainable careers.

ORB Entertainment plans to expand its presence across more African markets while developing additional services for independent artists, labels and music professionals.

“Our vision is to build an ecosystem in which African artists can release music, reach audiences and grow their businesses without losing control of their work,” Bamiro added.

The company said artists can begin on its free plan, making its distribution infrastructure accessible to emerging musicians who may not yet have the resources available to established acts.

Popular skit maker and actor, Akinyoola Ayoola, better known as Kamo State, has explained why Nollywood actress Funke Akindele was absent from the premiere of his debut cinema film, Star Lomo.

Kamo State said Akindele could not attend the premiere because she was out of the country, dismissing speculation that her absence was connected to a disagreement between them.

The clarification came after Akindele’s absence from Sunday’s premiere in Lagos sparked reactions on social media, with some users questioning whether the actress and Kamo were still on good terms.

In a statement shared on X on Monday, Kamo said, “I woke up to see different opinions online about Iyamii and myself. Please, we’re on good terms.”

He explained that Akindele had discussed the premiere with him but was unable to attend because she was outside the country.

He said, “She missed my premiere simply because she wasn’t in the country and nothing more to it, so please don’t assume otherwise.”

Kamo added that Akindele had promised to support the film and urged people to stop speculating about their personal relationship.

Kamo added, “We’ve spoken about it, and she’s going to support this film. I’d appreciate it if our personal relationship isn’t speculated on. Let’s keep our focus on the film.”

Kamo’s relationship with Akindele became more prominent during the production and promotion of Everybody Loves Jenifa in 2024, after which he became closely associated with the actress.

He frequently appeared in content shared by Akindele on Snapchat, while the actress also hosted him and his wife and publicly supported some of his projects.

Through his association with Akindele, Kamo featured in projects including Aiyetoro Town Season 2, Behind The Scenes and Everybody Loves Jenifa.

The pair were also seen together at several events, with Akindele regularly showing support for Kamo.
