Following their split again some days ago, Paul Okoye, famously known as Rudeboy from the celebrated P-Square duo, has reached out to his twin brother, Peter Okoye, expressing his disappointment and frustration over recent public statements.
Paul begins by addressing Peter's repeated claims in various interviews, where he has downplayed Paul’s contributions to their joint efforts in P-Square. Peter’s assertions that he wrote and performed 99% of P-Square’s songs, and his critical remarks about the song "EjeaJo," which Paul wrote, have particularly hurt Paul. This criticism extends to using YouTube views as a measure of success or failure, which Paul feels undermines the collaborative nature of their work.
Paul highlights a list of successful P-Square songs, including "Get-Squared," "Bizzy Body," "Personally," and many others, questioning whether these tracks are also considered failures under Peter’s view. He contrasts his inclusive approach, always using "we" and "us," with Peter’s tendency to emphasize "I" and "me," even in joint appearances.
Emphasizing that neither of them is the most talented artist globally, Paul reminds Peter that their success was a result of their combined efforts and God’s grace. He laments that their unity, which once made P-Square a powerful force in the music industry, is now being overshadowed by division and personal grievances.
Paul expresses regret for not addressing Peter’s April 2015 claims that he alone was responsible for P-Square’s success, a decision made in the interest of peace. Reflecting on their individual careers as Rudeboy and Mr. P, Paul questions whether they have achieved the same level of success or fan engagement as P-Square.
He voices his frustration at Peter’s attempts to discredit him and turn fans against him, and he urges Peter to reconsider his approach. Paul also promises to address the EFCC matter soon and asks for the space to focus on his music without further public interference.
In closing, Paul extends his genuine well-wishes to Peter and expresses understanding towards fans who have been misled by the ongoing narrative. He hopes for a resolution that allows both of them to move forward positively.
