Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye, with the stage name Mr P, has rubbished the adage, ‘blood is thicker than water’.
Recall that the singer had earlier announced in a tweet that his new birthday is now November 30 instead of the earlier date of November 18
Speaking via a series of posts on his 𝕏 handle on Wednesday, Okoye hinted that he and his brothers had renewed their feud.
He stated that blood isn’t thicker than his peace of mind.
Mr P dismissed speculation that his wife played any role in his renewed family conflict, stressing that such narratives were misleading and distracting from what he described as deep-seated internal issues.
“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 maintained that the dispute within the family predates their marriages, insisting the breakdown began long before external relationships came into the picture.
“None of us were even married 20-something years ago when this whole betrayal and stealing started! I said what I said,” he added
Peter, who has repeatedly accused unnamed parties of betrayal over the years, said the experience has been emotionally draining but reaffirmed his decision to prioritise his mental wellbeing.
“Yes, it’s painful. And yes, it’s my loss. But no one should keep reminding me that I was betrayed and used by my own blood for over 20 years plus,” he said.
Reiterating his stance on boundaries, the singer said he would still have taken the same decision regardless of family pressure
“Even if my parents were alive and supported this kind of betrayal, I’d still choose to step back, cut them off and protect my peace. Boundaries are necessary! Blood isn’t thicker than my peace of mind,” he stated.
He further revealed that the disagreement has now escalated into a legal battle.
“Now that I’ve uncovered the betrayal that has been going on for over 20 years plus, suddenly we’re blood? No… it doesn’t work like that. We are still in court!” Peter wrote
