In an escalating feud between former P-Square bandmates, Rude Boy (Paul Okoye) has publicly confronted his twin brother, Mr. P (Peter Okoye), over the release of a track that Rude Boy claims was originally written and recorded by him several years ago.
The song, which Rude Boy insists was never intended for release, has sparked a bitter dispute that could lead to legal action if left unresolved.
Taking to social media, Rude Boy addressed his brother with a stern warning: “Music isn’t that hard, bro. Go write your own. The days of manipulation are over.” His post was a response to Mr. P’s release of the track, which Rude Boy says was copied “word for word and beat for beat” from his original version, with no changes or modifications.
The controversy comes after Mr. P suggested he was capable of writing his own music, a claim that seems to have irked Rude Boy, who views the use of his unreleased material as an act of regression. “The days of manipulation are over,” Rude Boy continued in his post, indicating that he will no longer tolerate what he perceives as unfair use of his creative work.
To further substantiate his claims, Rude Boy shared the original version of the track, which he had recorded years ago but chose not to release.
He has since demanded that Mr. P remove the song from all streaming platforms or face potential legal consequences.
The rift between the Okoye twins, who once formed the globally successful duo P-Square, has been well-documented since their separation.
While Rude Boy had previously expressed interest in reuniting with his brother, the latest public dispute seems to have made any reconciliation unlikely in the near future.
This latest chapter in the brothers’ ongoing rivalry highlights the challenges of navigating their post-P-Square careers as they continue to pursue solo endeavors, with tensions between them showing no signs of easing.
