Nigerian musician Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, has publicly questioned why he and his twin brother, Peter Okoye, along with their elder brother and music executive Jude Okoye, cannot maintain family bonds despite their business disagreements. This inquiry comes amid ongoing tensions that became widely known after Paul accused Peter of involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an attempt to have him arrested.
Peter responded to these accusations via an open letter on social media, focusing on uncovering alleged discrepancies related to a secret company, Northside Music, purportedly owned by Jude and his wife, Ifeoma. Jude, in turn, refuted claims of misappropriating P-Square’s royalties in an Instagram live session.
In an Instagram live session on August 19, 2024, Paul expressed his frustration, stating, “Even if we don’t do P-Square, can’t we be brothers? Even if we can’t do music, can’t we be brothers? Like I said, I don’t want to talk much. I don’t used to talk before. It’s so unfortunate.”
