“Don’t let anger reach the bone”, duo warns legal battles destroy brotherhood
LAGOS, Nigeria – Music duo Bracket has had enough of watching the Okoye brothers tear each other apart. In a recent podcast, they urged Peter, Paul, and Jude to end their bitter dispute, warning that what started as family drama has now crossed into dangerous territory with legal battles that may have destroyed their brotherhood for good.
“Brothers Shouldn’t Let Anger Reach the Bone”
Bracket didn’t mince words during their podcast appearance. You could hear the frustration in their voices as they talked about how the Okoye brothers feud has spiraled way beyond typical family squabbles into something involving criminal investigations.
“Brothers should not let anger reach the bone,” Bracket said, using a phrase that hits different when you think about it. “We hope they can work out their issues for the sake of love and legacy since family comes first.”
Their timing seems deliberate, the P-Square breakup saga just keeps getting messier, with fresh allegations dropping almost weekly.
Nobody Knows What’s Really Going On
Here’s the thing that appears to frustrate even industry insiders: every brother tells a completely different story. Bracket pointed out something that probably resonates with anyone who’s tried to mediate family disputes, you literally don’t know who to believe.
“If you listen to Peter, listen to Paul, and listen to Jude, you don’t even know where to come in,” they explained, sounding genuinely exasperated. “Everybody has their own personal issue. It’s like, how can you guys even solve this?”
And they’re not wrong. Recent public statements have included everything from accusations of financial mismanagement to property disputes to claims of professional sabotage. It’s exhausting just trying to keep track.
Social Media Made Everything Worse
Bracket seems convinced that public pressure has pushed the brothers further apart rather than bringing them together. Which, honestly, makes sense when you think about how social media works these days.
“They paid too much attention to what people say,” the duo observed. “Forget about what people say. You are brothers. You know how you started; you lived in the same house, and you came from the same womb.”
The whole thing has played out like a reality show:
• Heated Instagram exchanges that probably should have stayed private
• Live sessions where family business gets aired to thousands of viewers
• Fan campaigns that essentially force people to pick sides
• Media interviews that reveal way too much about private family matters
When Police Get Involved, It’s Over
What really seems to trouble Bracket, and honestly, it should trouble anyone watching this unfold, is how law enforcement got dragged into what started as a family business disagreement. The EFCC and police involvement suggests this has moved beyond hurt feelings into serious allegations.
“Both of them, all of them, they’ve crossed the line,” Bracket declared, and you can almost feel the disappointment. “Getting your brother locked up? There’s no more brotherhood there. It will take God’s divine grace for them to ever get back together.”
That’s a pretty stark assessment. Most Nigerian music industry disputes stay within entertainment circles, but this one has blown past those boundaries entirely.
What’s at Stake Here
P-Square wasn’t just another music group, they were arguably one of Africa’s biggest success stories. Over a decade of dominating the continent’s music scene before that 2017 split, then a brief reunion in 2021 that gave everyone hope, and now… this.
Bracket’s concern likely reflects what a lot of industry people are thinking privately. When family bonds can’t survive business disagreements, what does that say about the sustainability of family-based partnerships that have driven so much of Nigeria’s entertainment success?
“You came from the same womb. Why are you letting people’s words divide you?” they asked, a question that cuts to the heart of it.
Industry Watching Nervously
Other Nigerian artists have apparently been expressing private concerns about how this whole mess might affect the broader Afrobeats scene. Nobody wants to go on record, but the worry seems real that this could discourage other family-based musical partnerships.
Maybe There’s Still Hope?
Despite everything, Bracket maintained that reconciliation might still be possible, though they suggested it would take something close to a miracle at this point.
“It will take God’s divine grace for them to ever get back together,” they concluded, which sounds both hopeful and resigned at the same time.
Their statement does reflect something deeply Nigerian about prioritizing family unity, even when disputes reach international headlines. Whether the Okoye brothers are listening is another question entirely.
So far, none of them have responded to Bracket’s appeal.
