In a statement released on August 6, 2026, Paul Okoye, otherwise known as Rudeboy, reacted to the ongoing issues with his twin brother, Peter Okoye AKA Mr P, who is at loggerheads with Rudeboy and Jude.
Rudeboy acknowledged the public interest in the dispute but insisted that family matters are best handled with “dignity, respect, and responsibility.” He added that he refuses to be “drawn into an exchange of allegations or commentary that distracts from the work, the fans, and the music.”
“Fire Department Inc., the official management of Rudeboy, is aware of the ongoing public conversations surrounding recent events involving members of the Okoye family.
While we understand the public interest, we believe that personal and family matters are best handled with dignity, respect, and responsibility. We will not be drawn into an exchange of allegations or commentary that distracts from the work, the fans, and the music.
Rudeboy remains fully committed to his craft and deeply grateful for the unwavering support he continues to receive from fans across Nigeria, Africa, and the rest of the world. Their encouragement has been instrumental in the growing success of “Blessed & Alive” featuring Sarkodie, and our focus remains on sharing music that inspires, uplifts, and connects people.
We respectfully ask our supporters, media partners, and the public to allow space for professionalism and mutual respect. We encourage everyone to avoid speculation and to rely on verified information rather than rumors or online commentary.

We sincerely thank everyone who has continued to stream, share, and celebrate “Blessed & Alive.” This is only the beginning, and we look forward to announcing more exciting projects, performances, and milestones in the weeks and months ahead.”
The decade-long dispute between the iconic African pop music duo P-Sqaure, comprising Peter Okoye and his twin brother Paul Okoye, and their older brother and former manager Jude Okoye escalated in July 2026.
The latest escalation started on social media when Peter Okoye AKA Mr P, made a statement about not caring if his kids are unable to speak their native Igbo language. Amid the wave of criticism that followed, Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy, shared a music video with a caption celebrating his Igbo heritage, which many considered a blatant dig at his twin brothers.
The clip would force Mr. P to come out publicly with a detailed breakdown of his rift with his twin brother, Rudeboy, a nd his older brother, Jude. In a series of videos shared on his Instagram account, Mr P went into a detailed breakdown of how his brothers allegedly frustrated him out of P-Square, bullied him, oppressed him and his family, and stole millions of dollars from him and P-Square.
Mr P’s ongoing revelations, which he has shared in a video series that is currently on part 7, have sparked massive public interest, which has forced Rudeboy to release a statement and Jude to make a video explaining his side.
The issues between the brothers have also resulted in a series of litigation, including an EFCC case against Jude and court proceedings against Mr P instituted by Jude.
With the latest escalation and the new facts revealed by Mr P, it’s unlikely that the Okoye brothers will be calling a truce anytime soon.
