Nigerian singer Peter Okoye recently took a break from his family and legal battles to celebrate his son Cameron Nonso Okoye's 18th birthday. He shared new photos of Cameron, who has grown into a young man with auburn dreadlocks. Peter described Cameron as his "pride" and "blessing," promising to always guide and support him. This personal milestone comes as Peter is involved in a legal dispute with his brother Jude over P-Square royalties.
The birthday tribute comes just two days after Peter testified virtually before a Federal High Court in Lagos, admitting to receiving over $800,000 in SACEM royalties for P-Square songs recorded between 2016 and 2026. During cross-examination, Peter maintained that the money belonged exclusively to him and his twin brother, Paul, insisting Jude was not a member of P-Square. Jude's lawyer questioned Peter's claims, and the case has been adjourned to December 8 and 9, 2026.
Peter's ongoing feud with Jude involves a seven-count EFCC charge over alleged fraud running into billions of naira. Jude and his company, Northside Music Limited, are also involved in a wider legal dispute with Peter. Despite these challenges, Peter took time to reflect on watching Cameron grow into the young man he has become, calling it one of the greatest blessings of his life.
In his Facebook post celebrating Cameron's birthday, Peter urged him to always remember who he is and where he comes from. He wrote: "You are 18 today, but you'll forever be my little boy." Peter closed his message with "Dad loves you more than words can ever explain." The post drew a wave of birthday wishes and reactions from Nigerians.
Cameron's photos showed him posing for the camera in a casual outfit, sporting auburn dreadlocks and a red cap. In one photo, Peter and Cameron stood side by side outside, sharing a warm moment. Nigerians reacted to the photos, with some commenting on the resemblance between Peter and his son. Others wished Cameron a happy birthday and expressed admiration for the family.
Peter had previously made claims against his family, including dragging his late mother into the P-Square feud during a tell-all video series. He alleged that his mother had summoned his wife, Lola, and issued her an ultimatum while Cameron was just five months old. Peter also claimed that Jude and Paul had sued to stop him from performing P-Square songs and that over $1.9 million in the group's earnings had gone unaccounted for.
The P-Square feud has been ongoing, with Peter and Jude involved in a bitter dispute over the group's royalties and ownership. Despite these challenges, Peter's celebration of Cameron's birthday provided a glimpse into his personal life and his love for his son. As the legal battles continue, Peter's fans and well-wishers have rallied around him, offering support and encouragement.
