A few weeks ago PSquare released their sixth studio album “Double Trouble”, but that album almost never saw the light of day due to the rift between the Okoye brothers (Peter, Paul & Jude) which threatened to break them up and put their fans in a frenzy. The bitter rift got so bad at one point that the beloved Okoye brothers reportedly came to blows during a rehearsal.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=1WF-Dv05SHg" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=1WF-Dv05SHg</a>


If you thought their rift was because of money or the women (some fans chose to cyber bully Peter’s wife Lola as the purported cause of the quarrel) in their lives you are wrong. Peter & Paul revealed during their insightful interview on Gistmania that their epic beef was all because of “the music”. Peter wanted to try new things, have more of creative input & Paul was of the opinion that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
During the interview Peter Okoye said,

It wasn’t about money, it wasn’t about women, it’s just a normal thing. The way you argue or quarrel with your siblings, it’s normal. The only sad thing about this is that it got out. When it was happening, we were still performing in shows. So people took our private lives, to our business, which I don’t blame them. I don’t blame these fans because we owe them a lot of apology. But for the fact that they took it too far, I and Paul had a mere argument, and it was about music.

Paul added,
When it comes to music, even if I want to bring something new, the new stuff I want to bring, I still want to make it ‘us’. But he wanted to bring something different. For me, you cannot change how we do things. If you wanna bring something different, bring it gradually. But you can’t just switch fast immediately. It’s gonna have an effect. It’s gonna hit us. So it has to do with the music, the song to select on the album, there are some songs he (Peter Okoye) preferred, and others I preferred.
This thing has happened before, during the days of ‘Do Me’.
To which Peter in agreement said,
I never liked ‘Do Me’, I never liked ‘Do Me’. How we ended up choosing that song was we said, “Peter choose your best five, Paul choose your best five. Paul’s best five, ‘Do Me’ was inside it. I never selected it. Although Paul won, because in that album, ‘No One Like You’, ‘Ifunanya’, and most of his selections went far. It happens in every album. The truth is, the whole fight and quarrel is for the fans. Because we are trying to bring out the best. If we had just said, ‘make we release everything’, at the end of the day, we’ll start looking for who to blame.
The twins acknowledge that the media scrutiny on private family issues like their rift is the price of fame. Paul said,
When people started hearing that, they started directing it to someone. If it is not Jude, it is their wife. I looked at it and said this is a price we’re paying. ‘Who send us go dey popular’
