From family feuds shaking the music industry to bold ambitions, legal battles, and headline-making appearances, the entertainment scene is buzzing with fresh drama and exciting developments. Here’s a roundup of the biggest stories making waves across Nigeria and beyond.
‘No Woman Caused It, Betrayal Did’ — Peter Okoye Speaks on Family Feud
Nigerian music star Peter Okoye has dismissed claims that a woman caused the renewed crisis within the Okoye family, insisting the dispute is rooted in alleged betrayal, theft, and long-standing internal disagreements spanning over two decades.
In a series of posts shared via his X handle, Mr P rejected attempts to drag women into the family fallout.
“Before you drag any woman into this! No woman directed or advised anyone to steal from what I worked for over the years. Stop pushing that narrative to suit your agenda,” he wrote.
He added that the crisis predates marriage, stressing, “None of us were even married 20-something years ago when this whole betrayal and stealing started! I said what I said.”
Mr P also addressed backlash over his decision to shift his birthday celebration from November 18—traditionally shared with his twin brother, Paul Okoye—to November 30. According to him, family ties were ignored during years of alleged wrongdoing.
“We were not ‘blood’ when they were stealing from me… Now that I’ve uncovered the betrayal… suddenly we’re blood? No… it doesn’t work like that. We are still in court!”
The comments have reignited attention on the long-standing dispute involving the Okoye brothers and their elder brother, Jude Okoye.
