Nigerian musician Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy from the iconic P-Square duo, has once again insisted on remaining separated from his twin brother and former musical partner, Peter Okoye. The long-standing rift between the brothers, which shocked fans of the popular Afropop group, appears far from reconciliation.
The public became aware of the fallout when Paul revealed in an earlier interview that Peter had allegedly petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to have him arrested. This accusation marked a significant escalation in the tensions between the once inseparable siblings, whose music shaped Nigeria’s pop culture for over a decade.
During an Instagram live session on Wednesday, Paul expressed frustration over their strained relationship, explaining that he carried most of the creative and managerial load during their time together as P-Square, while others, including Peter, simply reaped the benefits. His remarks suggested deep-rooted dissatisfaction with the balance of work and credit within the duo, further cementing his resolve to pursue his solo career as Rudeboy.
Paul’s latest comments show that the wounds between the brothers remain open, despite occasional speculation about a potential reunion. The P-Square split has divided fans, with many hoping for reconciliation, but both Paul and Peter have continued to focus on their individual music careers.
While the legacy of P-Square endures in the Nigerian music industry, Paul’s insistence on maintaining the split highlights that any hope of the duo getting back together may remain distant for now. The ongoing feud between the Okoye brothers serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics behind the scenes of one of Africa‘s most successful music groups.
Honestly, I think the drama between Rudeboy and Peter is just for publicity. Theyll probably reunite soon for the money.
I think Peter should just join a new duo with Davido. Imagine the hits they could make together! 🔥🎶
I think Peter should consider a solo career. Rudeboy seems too focused on their differences. Time for a change!
I think they should just hug it out and make some music together! Lifes too short for sibling drama. #P-SquareReunion2022
I think theres more to this P-Square split than meets the eye. Maybe its all just a publicity stunt? 🤔
Nah, doubt its a stunt. Family drama is usually messy and real. 🤷♂️
I think Peter and Paul should just go solo and leave P-Square behind. Its time for new beginnings!
I think its time for P-Square to move on separately. Change can be a good thing. Lets see what new opportunities come their way!
I think Rudeboy made the right choice to split from Peter. Sometimes you gotta cut toxic people out, even if theyre family.
I think Rudeboy made the right choice by splitting from his brother. Sometimes you gotta do whats best for yourself.
