- Bracket’s Obumneme Ali, aka Smash, has described the ongoing feud between P-Square brothers Peter and Paul Okoye as “spiritual.”
- Speaking on the AFRIMMA Podcast, Smash said Paul agreed with his assessment, adding that the rift defies logic given the brothers’ past closeness and passion for the P-Square brand.
- He expressed sadness over the fallout, noting that even their former manager and brother Jude was deeply invested in the group’s success.
The rift between Peter and Paul Okoye — the iconic duo behind P-Square — has long puzzled fans. Now, Bracket’s Smash is offering a perspective that goes beyond the surface: he believes the feud is spiritual.
Speaking on the AFRIMMA Podcast alongside his bandmate Vast, Smash shared that he’s closer to Paul but regularly visits Peter, who always listens when he speaks. Despite this, he says the tension between the brothers feels abnormal — something deeper than ego or business.
Smash revealed that during a recent conversation, he told Paul that the feud wasn’t just emotional or professional, but spiritual. According to him, Paul agreed.
For fans who remember P-Square’s golden era — the synchronized performances, the global hits, and the brotherly bond — the current state of affairs is heartbreaking. Smash echoed that sentiment, saying anyone who witnessed their rise would feel the weight of what’s been lost.
He also mentioned Jude Okoye, the brothers’ elder sibling and former manager, as someone who was deeply invested in the brand. Together, the trio built P-Square into one of Africa’s most successful music acts.
While the group briefly reunited in 2021, tensions resurfaced in 2024, and the fallout has only deepened. Smash’s comments have reignited conversations about what really tore P-Square apart — and whether reconciliation is still possible.
