I believe Mr P – Stonebwoy wades into PSquare saga

Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy has entered the ongoing dispute between Nigerian music duo PSquare. The singer revealed that he developed a close relationship with Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, during a time when the issues within the music family were escalating. Stonebwoy expressed his belief in Mr P's account of the situation based on their personal connection and what he observed.

He emphasized that the betrayal within a family can be deeply hurtful, sometimes to the point where it becomes hard to endure silently. Stonebwoy's song 'Blood Don’t Make Family' was inspired by the painful experiences of Peter Okoye and his brothers, and he expressed his happiness for Peter's efforts to publicly address his experiences.

Stonebwoy praised Peter for maintaining his integrity by continuing to protect his brothers despite the conflict, and noted that it is a testament to his pure heart. The PSquare family, consisting of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, rose to fame in the early 2000s and experienced a split in 2016 which was later reconciled in 2021.

However, tensions resurfaced in 2024, with both brothers alleging various issues including disagreements over their music catalogue, finances, management, and other aspects of their careers. The controversy has also brought their elder brother and former manager Jude Okoye into the spotlight. While Peter has openly shared his grievances, Paul, who performs as Rudeboy, has also provided his perspective on the breakdown of their relationship.

Fans across Africa have been divided in their support for either brother, and Stonebwoy has made it clear that his backing comes from his personal understanding of Peter's struggle, viewing the situation as more than just a celebrity disagreement, but rather a tragic tale of family betrayal and the emotional turmoil that can follow.
