Smash, one half of the R&B duo Bracket, has claimed that the ongoing feud between the PSquare is spiritual.
Psquare, once one of Nigeria’s biggest music acts, was made up of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye until their split in 2017.
They briefly reunited in 2021, but in August 2024, the duo fell out again after Paul accused Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the EFCC — an allegation Peter denied.
Peter, in turn, accused Jude Okoye, his elder brother and former manager, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.
Jude and his company were later arraigned for alleged money laundering involving over ₦1.38 billion, $1 million, and £34,000, with Peter appearing as the first prosecution witness.
Speaking in an interview on AFRIMMA Podcast, Smash said he once told Paul that the rift with his brother was not normal but spiritual, and “Paul agreed with me.
He described the feud as abnormal, stressing that the duo had always been deeply passionate about the PSquare brand.
He added that anyone who knew how close the brothers were and how much work they put into the group would be saddened about the current situation.
I’m closer to Paul than Peter but l always go to Peter’s house and he listens to me whenever I speak to him. But unfortunately, if you ask me as an in-house, I will say that problem is spiritual, he said.
The last time I met Paul I told him his problem with his brother Peter wasn’t normal that it’s spiritual and he agreed.
If you know how close these guys were and how they worked, you will feel so bad looking at what is going on today. Jude was part of P-Square. Paul and Peter, they loved that brand with so much passion.
In June, D’banj said he still believes the PSquare brothers can reconcile, adding that it may take a national’ intervention.
