FINAL PART: FOLLOW THE MONEY. We’ve reached the end of our investigation into the financial dispute involving Peter Okoye, Jude Okoye and Northside Music Limited. This time, the focus is simple: where did the money come from, where did it go, and which company was supposed to receive it? We trace payments linked to three companies: • Lex Records Limited • Kobalt Music • MTech/Emtec Limited The bigger question is not merely whether money was received. It is whether payments connected to rights or agreements involving Northside Entertainment Limited were properly paid into Northside Music Limited, and on what contractual basis. We also examine the timelines—including songs released before Northside Music Limited was incorporated—and separate claims that can be supported by available records from claims that the evidence does not support. And where Peter’s own claims are contradicted by the documents, we say so. An investigation cannot be about choosing a side; the same standard has to apply to everybody. The lesson for every artist is bigger than P-Square: know the legal entity you are signing with, know who owns your rights, know where your royalties are being paid, and never rely solely on verbal assurances. For Peter going forward, one of the strongest safeguards would be direct payment of his royalty share where contracts permit—or an independently administered collection and distribution structure where direct splitting isn’t possible. Unless there is a significant new development, this concludes our series. We followed the documents. We followed the companies. And most importantly, we followed the money. #PSquare #PeterOkoye #JudeOkoye #MusicBusiness #FemiUnfiltered
