So, PSquare’s Former Manager, Howie T, has revealed in a new chat with NetNg, the only thing that can end the bitter Psquare split, and make the brothers, Paul and Peter Okoye work together as a team again.

The Nigerian pop duo, Psquare, has already gone their separate ways, flaunted different managements and released solo songs after a fallout involving their elder brother Jude Okoye on social media. In turn, their actions caused a lot of drama and left fans praying for Africa’s most beloved pop group.

Thenet.ng held a phone conversation with Howie T and in it, Howie revealed Peter’s side of the story and the only condition for a Psquare reunite.

Howie was Psquare’s first-ever manager after they won a Benson & Hedges talent hunt in 2001. He managed the duo from 2001 to 2005, before Jude Okoye took over as the band’s manager.

Here are excerpts from his chat with Thenet.ng’s chief correspondent, Dayo Showemimo:

Well, the guys in question are adults, married with children, so I think we should respect their opinion. And the truth is, I believe they know what they are doing’.

When I saw Peter’s Tweets, I called him and even went to see him to talk to him about it. He said Jude is the problem that he doesn’t have any issue with Paul’.

He told me that in a normal setting, a manager is supposed to be their employee and not the other way round, but Jude always uses his influence as their elder brother to boss over them.

He also said managers collect between 15 – 25 % of an artiste’s income but in their case they share everything equally and he’s not happy with that sharing formula’.

‘In my opinion I think Peter is just trying to prove a valid point. He told me that he turned down a show Jude got them in Finland and when they called them for the Dubai show, he told the organisers what it takes to get Peter and Paul, what it takes to get Peter or Paul alone’.

Secondly, things like this messes up an artiste’s creativity, Peter is a composer, dancer and singer, when they sit down to vote on songs that’ll make their album, Paul and Jude vote for more of Paul’s songs than Peter’s and these are the things that pisses him off.

It has gone beyond just beef now, there’s a lot of ego at play’.

In my opinion, for peace to reign, why can’t Jude just leave them alone, Peter has told me that if they change Jude today, there’ll be Psquare tomorrow and sadly the only person that can talk to them is their mother and she’s dead’.

Well, 20 children cannot play together for 20 years’.

  5. Jude should let them make their decisions besides dey are old enough to do so. Please we need psquare not Mr. P

  6. I will only advice them to settle. what ever the problem is,it can always be settled if they want to. psquare has been in existence before this problem. psquare will still exist after the problem,that’s one thing I believe. always remember the past, how u guys started. it was peace and love that kept u going. it was that same peace and love that got u guys to where u are today. both of u are like husband and wife. do not let outsiders divide what you’ve worked so hard to build. my father always told me,is very easy to destroy than to build. it took u years to be what u are today,very successful bcus your destined to work and archive greatness together. if u allow golddiggers into your life,u will fall like mount Jericho. together u stand,divided u fall. God bless
