Afrobeats star Waga G has publicly called out singer Peter Okoye, urging him to reconcile with his family and accusing him of being a manipulator.
The comments came amid renewed tension in the Okoye family, which has been in the spotlight for years due to the highly public fallout between Peter and his twin brother Paul Okoye of Psquare.
In a video that quickly spread online, Waga G addressed Peter directly. He said the singer’s ongoing disputes with his brother and family members were damaging, and that it was time to put ego aside.
“Go back and reconcile with your family,” Waga G said. “You’re a manipulator. No matter what happened, blood is blood. You people built Psquare together. You can’t just throw that away and act like it means nothing.
He added that fans loved Psquare because of the bond between the brothers, not because of solo careers. “People didn’t just love the music. They loved the story. Two brothers from Jos who conquered Africa together. Why destroy that
Peter and Paul Okoye, along with their elder brother and former manager Jude Okoye, made up one of Africa’s biggest music groups. Psquare dominated charts across the continent in the 2000s and early 2010s with hits like Bizzy Body, Personally, and Alingo.
The group split in 2017 following reported disagreements over management, money, and creative direction. Both twins launched solo careers — Peter as Mr P and Paul as Rudeboy — but fans have continued to call for a reunion.
The rift deepened again in 2024 and 2025 when both brothers made public accusations against each other and against Jude. The disputes played out on social media and in interviews, with allegations ranging from financial mismanagement to betrayal
Waga G, a singer and media personality, said he was speaking out because he was tired of watching the family drama unfold in public.
According to him, the constant back-and-forth is not just hurting the Okoye family, but also the fans and the image of Nigerian music.
“We’re all watching you drag each other online,” he said. “It’s embarrassing. You’re grown men. You have kids. You have a legacy. Sit down, talk, and fix it.”
He specifically called Peter a “manipulator,” claiming that Peter often presents himself as the victim in the situation while contributing to the problem.
“You can’t keep telling one side of the story and expect people to clap for you,” Waga G said. “Go home. Apologize. Listen. That’s what men do.”The video sparked debate online. Many fans agreed with Waga G, saying the Psquare split has gone on too long and that both brothers share blame.
“Waga G said what we’ve all been thinking,” one comment read. “This thing is bigger than them now. It’s about legacy.”Others defended Peter, arguing that reconciliation isn’t possible without accountability from all sides, including Jude and Paul.
Calling him a manipulator is unfair,” another fan wrote. “We don’t know what really happened behind closed doors.”The hashtag #PsquareReunion trended again after the video, with fans posting old performance clips and urging the brothers to make peace.
Industry insiders say a Psquare reunion would be one of the biggest music events in Africa. Promoters, brands, and fans have all expressed interest. But the personal issues between the brothers have made it difficult.Waga G’s intervention reflects a broader sentiment: that the public is tired of the drama and wants resolution.
Peter Okoye has in past interviews said he is open to reconciliation, but only if there is honesty and respect. He has accused Jude of mismanaging the group’s finances and said he had to walk away to protect himself.
Paul, on the other hand, has said the issues were more personal and that Peter’s attitude made working together impossible.
Waga G ended his message by appealing directly to Peter’s sense of family.Your parents are watching,” he said. “Your kids are watching. Your brother is watching. Life is short. Before it’s too late, go and make peace.
He said he wasn’t taking sides between Peter and Paul, but that someone had to say it plainly.Stop with the interviews. Stop with the tweets. Go to your brother’s house. Knock on the door. That’s how you fix family.”
Whether the message will lead to any real change remains to be seen. The Okoye family has had several public calls for reconciliation before, and none have resulted in a full reunion.
But with pressure mounting from fans and now from fellow artists like Waga G, the conversation around Psquare is shifting. It’s no longer just about music. It’s about forgiveness, legacy, and what happens when family and business collide.
For millions of fans who grew up on Psquare, the hope is still the same: that two brothers who once sang “Ifeoma” together can find their way back to each other.
