In a legal dispute between P-Square, the Federal High Court in Lagos revealed that Peter Okoye, the other half of the duo, had received over $800,000 in royalties from France-based SACEM. Peter testified that the money belonged to him and his twin brother, Paul, denying Jude Okoye's claim to the royalties. He maintained that he, along with Paul, wrote, composed, and produced P-Square's songs, while Jude directed music videos.
Peter was cross-examined by Jude's counsel, Clement Onwuewunor, SAN, about his earlier claim regarding Jude's delay in providing P-Square's royalty records to him. Peter admitted he could not provide any evidence of his request before October 16, 2022, stating that he could not recall. However, he confirmed receiving the royalty statement from Jude, which covered payments from 2016 to 2022, including those associated with Lex Records.
