Nigerian music star Peter Okoye has replied to his twin brother, Paul Okoye, over his accusation of song theft.
Last week, Paul had shaded Peter as he accused him and their former producer of stealing his songs. He revealed that he had written and sung a song titled Winning, which was supposed to be produced next year. To his surprise, Peter had released the same song by the same producer. Paul made it known that the days of manipulation were over as he promised to release the original version of any songs of his that were being replicated.
Now speaking out, Peter shared his phone conversation with the producer of the song as he questioned if one could steal his property.
Stating that it was well, he told Paul to allow him to make his music in peace as he begged him to allow him to enjoy his new single in peace and stop with the negativity.
“Person no dey thief him own Property! It is well! Thank you, @iam_vampire_official, for the clarification.

They all deserve their Credit. And I appreciate them.

WINNING is out on all music platforms; continue streaming and don’t get distracted. Love y’all, peace.
Let’s continue “WINNING” Together

The producer of the song also shared his side of the story, explaining that he had produced and recorded Winning for them in 2022. He said he sent stems to Psquare for mixing and mastering and he got played and left Lagos.
Recall that in June last year, controversial blogger Stella Dimokokorkus alleged that there was a brewing war between the Psquare brothers and their elder brother, Jude Okoye, because of the joint funds being allegedly diverted by Jude Okoye.
In July, 2024, Instagram blogger Cutie Juls alleged that Paul and his elder brother, Jude, had been arrested by EFCC. Paul later confirmed it as he took to his Instagram page to rejoice after getting clearance from the commission. He made it known that he wasn’t a thief but made his money through good music.
In an interview, he opened up on his relationship with his twin brother, recounting how Peter got him and their older brother, Jude Okoye, arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC in December 2023.
Addressing Paul’s interview, Peter debunked the claims as he stated that he only filed a petition with the commission against their elder brother after discovering he was diverting their money into a secret account which he shared with his wife. He noted how Paul, rather than joining forces with him to reclaim their number one spot in the music industry, chose to team up with their elder brother, Jude, to marginalise and humiliate him. He further claimed that his twin brother has constantly disrespected him, his wife, his family, his talent, his ideas and more.
