Peter Okoye, formerly part of the now-disbanded music group P-Square, has taken a swipe at his family following his testimony against his older brother, Jude Okoye, in a case involving financial misconduct.
Jude and his company, Northside Music Limited, are currently facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations linked to the laundering of N1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,537.59.
Taking to his Instagram story on Tuesday, Peter stressed the importance of protecting his mental wellbeing and questioned the true definition of family.
He argued that genuine family relationships should be built on trust, loyalty, and love—not deceit, betrayal, or theft.
“Don’t let ‘family’ be the reason you’re drowning in silence. I did – for over 20 years plus. And it almost cost me everything,” he wrote.
“But now I know better – love doesn’t manipulate, loyalty doesn’t betray and family does not steal from you. Family that steals and breaks you isn’t family at all,” he added.
He went further to describe unhealthy family environments as mentally draining and shameful, stating his refusal to continue sacrificing his peace for anyone.
“Real family doesn’t drain you, shame you, discriminate against you or ignore your pain. My sanity matters. My mental health is a priority. If it costs my mental health, then it’s too expensive,” Peter stated.
