Popular Afrobeats superstar D’banj has reacted to the messy family war between Jude, Peter and Paul Okoye. He recently urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to wade into the matter and resolve their dispute.
Speaking during an interview with Adesope Live, D’banj said that the FG can play a major role in settling the $1 million fraud case currently tearing the brothers apart.
According to him, the family drama is very sad for him because he knows how family sagas can easily turn into a full-blown war if not addressed quickly.
The singer stated that he recently had a deep conversation with Peter Okoye on the issue, and Mr P shared his own side of the story in detail.
Expressing hope for a future reconciliation, the artist emphasised the need for all parties to agree to a dialogue that will thrash out their issues.
“The saga between Peter and Jude is a very sad one. When you want to fight, you only know the beginning… you don’t know the end,” he said.

D’banj further stressed that even if both brothers never get to perform together again, they can still reach a respectful agreement that will benefit both parties.
He concluded by saying that national figures and even the federal government should step in quickly to restore peace in the Okoye family.
“If it’s even a money issue, this is the best time to talk. You guys own your catalogue, and that’s gold. People have been trying to buy mine for over 10 years, and I haven’t sold. Same thing with P-Square — their catalogue is massive.
I remember when a bank closed in Nigeria and locked up Jay Jay Okocha’s money. The then President, Obasanjo, personally intervened and told them to pay Jay Jay because of how much he had done for the country.
If it’s a money or agreement thing, let the relevant institutions — maybe Bank of Industry — help structure something,” he added.
