D’banj, veteran afrobeats star, has called for intervention in the ongoing feud between P-Square’s Peter and Paul Okoye and their former manager, Jude Okoye.
The dispute, which involves allegations of fraud and financial mismanagement, has sparked widespread attention and concern.
D’banj, in an interview with Adesope Live, appealed to the brothers to put aside their differences and find a resolution, emphasizing the importance of preserving their legacy and musical catalogue. “For the legacy that God has built through them, is why I feel that there can be a proper intervention,” he said.

The artist noted that he recently spoke with Peter Okoye, who shared his perspective on the issue. D’banj believes that dialogue and mediation can help resolve the dispute. “It’s all about dialogue,” he said. “If it’s an even money issue, there’s no better time because you guys own your catalogue.”

D’banj highlighted the value of P-Square’s musical catalogue, which he believes is enormous and worth preserving. “Some global music executives have been trying to buy my catalogue for over a decade, but I kept it because I know how big it can get when it is my time for it,” he said.
The artist is calling on Nigerians and relevant institutions to facilitate a mediated agreement, citing the example of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s intervention in a past dispute involving Jay-Jay Okocha. “I would like to beg anyone who is a mentor to them because this is beyond us, their colleagues,” D’banj said. “I think it has to be someone that they would respect, if possible, the nation [federal government].”
