P-Square Wasn’t Just Peter & Paul — Joe Akan Exposes Jude Okoye’s Hidden Role

 If you grew up jamming to hits like “Do Me,” “Personally,” or “No One Like You,” then P-Square probably soundtracked some of your best memories. For years, we’ve known P-Square as the superstar twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye — the faces, the dancers, the performers.

But according to renowned music journalist Joe Akan, we’ve all been missing a huge part of the story.

In a revelation that’s causing quite a stir among fans and industry insiders, Joe Akan insists that P-Square was never just a duo. It was a trio from the start. And the third member? None other than their elder brother, Jude Okoye.

“Jude Okoye wasn’t just a manager — he was a financier, an A&R, a business manager, and the backbone of P-Square,” Akan explained.

Far from being simply the guy behind the scenes, Jude played a crucial role in building the P-Square empire. Joe Akan shared how Jude sold his personal properties to finance the group’s career when things were still uncertain. He handled their finances, bought them properties, paid them salaries to help them save, and pushed for better deals and higher booking rates.

“He gave us P-Square,” Akan declared.

Even more surprising, Akan revealed that the twins and Jude had an agreement to split all P-Square’s proceeds equally three ways — a stark contrast to how most artists operate today.

“P-Square wasn’t Peter and Paul. It was Peter, Paul, and Jude.”

Joe wrapped up his statement by throwing a bit of shade at today’s industry structures:

“Now, go and ask your biggest stars how much percentage they give to their labels. It’s often twice what Jude earned — and he did it all out of love and vision.”

Since Joe Akan’s revelation, fans have been showering praise on Jude Okoye for his sacrifices and visionary role in shaping one of Afrobeats’ biggest success stories. It’s a timely reminder that sometimes, the people who make the magic happen are the ones we don’t see on stage.

So the next time you hear a P-Square classic, remember — the legend wasn’t just Peter and Paul. It was Peter, Paul, and Jude.
