Rudeboy's management has finally broken its silence over the renewed allegations made by his twin brother, Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P. The response comes after days of public accusations regarding the misappropriation of funds from the Psquare music catalog.
Management Issues Official Statement
In a statement released on Thursday, August 6, Fire Department Inc., the official management company for Rudeboy, acknowledged the ongoing public discourse but firmly declined to engage in a war of words over family matters.
“While we understand the public interest, we believe that personal and family matters are best handled with dignity, respect, and responsibility,” the statement read.
The management reiterated that Rudeboy would not be drawn into allegations or online commentary that could detract from his music career and his relationship with his fans. Instead of directly addressing Peter's accusations, the statement emphasized Rudeboy's dedication to his craft and his gratitude for the support his latest project has received.
Focus on New Music and Fan Support
According to the management, Rudeboy remains fully focused on the success of his song “Blessed & Alive,” a collaboration with Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie. The team also urged supporters and media platforms to avoid speculation and rely solely on verified information.
The controversy began when Peter Okoye accused his twin brother Paul and their elder brother Jude Okoye of diverting revenue generated from the Psquare music catalog. Peter alleged that Jude had secretly established a company through which funds belonging to the iconic group were channeled. Jude has consistently denied these claims.
Despite the family drama, Rudeboy's camp appears determined to keep the narrative centered on his musical output rather than personal disputes.
Social Media Reactions
Legit.ng compiled reactions from social media users, many of whom sided with Rudeboy's approach to stay above the fray.
@uzybestofficial commented: “Pure distractions, we knw the plan. Dear fellow fire department, please keep streaming BLESSED AND ALIVE. We are focused................Fire”
@majazymajazy1 noted: “Na only good music I wan listen to abeg. Rudeboy is too good”
The response from fans suggests that many appreciate Rudeboy's decision to prioritize his music over public squabbles, even as the family dispute continues to generate headlines.
Background of the Dispute
The rift between the Okoye brothers is not new. Psquare, once one of Africa's most celebrated music duos, has experienced multiple breakups and reunions over the years. The latest allegations have reignited tensions, with Peter also claiming that the reunion with his twin brother negatively impacted his social media growth.
In a previous report by Legit.ng, Peter explained that before the reunion, his accounts were gaining up to 100,000 new followers daily, ranking him alongside Davido and Don Jazzy in influence. However, after the comeback, his follower growth dropped drastically. He speculated that the reunion might have been the reason, though he admitted he was not entirely certain.
As the saga unfolds, Rudeboy's management has made it clear that their priority is the music, not the drama. The statement serves as a subtle but firm indication that Rudeboy intends to let his work speak for itself, even as his brother continues to air grievances publicly.
