Okoye Family Dispute Resurfaces as Rudeboy Responds to Mr P's Latest Claims

LAGOS — Singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has publicly reacted after his twin brother, Peter Okoye (Mr P), made fresh allegations about their late mother and Peter's wife, Lola, in the latest episode of his online documentary series.

In the newly released episode, Mr P revisited family disagreements surrounding his relationship with Lola, claiming that tensions within the Okoye family escalated shortly after the birth of their first son.

According to Mr P, a family meeting was held at his residence in Omole, Lagos, with their late mother, Josephine Okoye, brothers Jude, Rudeboy and Tony, as well as church leaders present to discuss the relationship.

He alleged that neither he nor his wife received a warm reception during the gathering and claimed Lola was made to feel unwelcome throughout the meeting.

Mr P further alleged that family members urged Lola to end her relationship with him and claimed she became emotional after comments made during the discussion. He also accused some relatives of questioning the paternity of his unborn child through an anonymous message circulated within the family.

The singer said their late mother later accepted that the child was his biological son and reportedly requested that his brothers apologise, although he claimed that apology never came before her passing.

Mr P also dismissed long-standing suggestions that Lola had a strained relationship with his late mother, stating that his wife cared for her extensively during her illness and remained by her side throughout her treatment.

Reacting to the claims, Rudeboy shared a brief message on social media, appearing to defend the memory of their late mother.

"Unfortunately, you're not here to defend yourself. Continue resting, Mum."

Although he did not directly address the specific allegations raised by his brother, many interpreted the post as a response to the renewed public discussion surrounding their family's internal disputes.

The latest exchange adds to the prolonged conflict between the former P-Square members, whose relationship has remained strained for years over issues ranging from family disagreements and business management to music royalties and the eventual collapse of the group's reunion.

While Mr P has continued to publicly share his version of events through his documentary series, elder brother Jude Okoye has previously denied several of the allegations against him, maintaining that some of the matters are already before the courts.

Rudeboy, on the other hand, has largely stayed away from the public exchanges, with those close to him indicating that he remains focused on his music career despite the ongoing family controversy.
