D’banj’s Savage “Chop My Money” Joke To P-Square Hits Different Amid Their Family War
Leave it to D’banj to find the perfect punchline for one of Nigerian entertainment’s messiest ongoing sagas. During a candid sit-down on Adesope Live, the veteran entertainer dropped a joke about P-Square’s own catalogue that’s now making rounds for being both hilarious and painfully accurate.
The Joke Everyone’s Quoting
Speaking on the Okoye brothers’ escalating family feud, D’banj couldn’t resist pointing out the irony sitting right there in P-Square’s own discography. According to him, the same duo who once sang “Chop My Money, I Don’t Care” back in 2012 are now living out the opposite reality except this time, it’s each other chopping the money, and they very much care. He put it plainly: it’s them singing about someone else spending their money without concern, and now it’s them spending each other’s money instead.
It’s the kind of joke that only lands this hard because of how much truth is baked into it a hit song about carefree spending has become an accidental prophecy for a business dispute now playing out in courtrooms and viral videos nearly fourteen years later.
Why D’banj Even Weighed In
This isn’t the first time D’banj has spoken publicly about the P-Square wahala. Back in mid-2025, when the feud first resurfaced with Peter Okoye dragging Jude and Northside Entertainment to court over an alleged $1 million fraud, D’banj used an earlier Adesope Live appearance to plead for peace, invoking the story of how a former Nigerian president once personally intervened to help footballer Jay Jay Okocha resolve a bank dispute, and suggesting similar high-level mediation could help the Okoye brothers reconcile before their legacy suffers permanent damage.
This time around, with the feud having escalated dramatically since then, D’banj’s tone shifted from purely diplomatic to a mix of humour and hard truth cracking the “Chop My Money” joke while still underlining a serious point about how the brothers’ public fighting risks tarnishing the very catalogue they built together.
Just How Messy Has This Feud Gotten?
For context on why D’banj’s joke is landing so hard right now, the situation has spiralled well beyond a simple business disagreement. Peter Okoye has been releasing a multi-part tell-all video series since late July 2026, now up to Part 7, accusing Jude of financial impropriety, alleging threats over an Atlanta property, and most recently presenting what he described as EFCC-investigated bank statements claiming deeply unequal money distributions from their shared Northside Entertainment accounts. Paul, meanwhile, has publicly sided with Jude throughout, accusing Peter of trying to destroy their brother’s reputation a rift that’s also reportedly touched a childhood pact the twins made about naming their firstborn sons after each other.
Even their eldest brother, Henry Okoye, has weighed in from the family home in Plateau State, expressing doubt that Peter and Paul can ever fully reconcile despite Peter’s public efforts, while other industry figures including Cynthia Morgan and Mr May D, both former Northside signees have jumped into the conversation with their own old grievances against Jude’s management.
Wahala Network Take
Say what you want about the timing, but D’banj’s joke might be the most quotable line to come out of this entire saga turning a 2012 party anthem into the perfect metaphor for a 2026 family business collapse. “Chop My Money, I Don’t Care” was fun when it was somebody else’s cash on the line. Funny how the tune changes when it’s your own catalogue.
