Former P-Square singer Peter Okoye has accused his twin brother, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, of taking advantage of his recent social media controversy to further damage his reputation.Peter made the accusation on Wednesday while responding to Rudeboy’s comments following criticism directed at him over a recent post concerning Nigerian languages and their influence.
Peter Responds to Rudeboy’s Remarks
The controversy began after Peter responded to a fan who asked about the usefulness of Nigerian languages. His response sparked criticism online, with some social media users questioning his position.Rudeboy subsequently appeared to distance himself from the statement in a series of posts on X, describing himself as a “nobody” without culture, native identity and language.Peter, however, interpreted his brother’s reaction as another attempt to turn public opinion against him.According to Peter, Rudeboy was deliberately using the controversy to portray him negatively, similar to what he claimed had happened in the past.
‘You’re Using This Moment to Pull Me Down’
Peter acknowledged that he was already facing criticism over his statement and said he was prepared to accept the consequences of his own words.However, he objected to what he described as Rudeboy twisting the situation and taking advantage of the backlash.Peter said he had previously addressed what he considered similar behaviour in an open letter two years ago, insisting that efforts to make the public hate him would not succeed.He also questioned why Rudeboy repeatedly joins conversations whenever he is facing criticism online.Peter’s latest comments have once again brought the long-running tension between the former P-Square members into the spotlight.
P-Square Brothers Remain Apart
Peter and Rudeboy were members of P-Square, one of Nigeria’s most successful music duos, before their highly publicised separation.Although both artists have continued successful solo careers, their relationship has periodically generated public discussion, particularly when either brother makes comments that appear to address the other.Peter’s latest response suggests that their disagreements remain a source of tension, even as both continue to pursue individual music careers.
Conclusion
The latest exchange between Peter Okoye and Rudeboy has added another chapter to the brothers’ complicated public relationship. While Peter accepted the criticism surrounding his own statement, he accused Rudeboy of using the controversy as an opportunity to further attack him.
