PSquare’s Rudeboy asks his twin, ‘Why can’t we just be brothers?’
Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, has appealed to his twin brother Peter Okoye, also known as Mr. P, to maintain their brotherly bond despite no longer making music together.
During an Instagram Live session, Rudeboy made the heartfelt request just days after Mr. P accused him of being self-centered and taking sole credit for PSquare’s success.

Rudeboy expressed his sentiments, saying, “Even if we don’t continue with PSquare, can’t we still be brothers?” He added, “Even if we can’t make music together, can’t we at least be brothers? It’s unfortunate.”
This comes after Mr. P penned an open letter to Rudeboy, stating that he doesn’t see himself in competition with his twin but feels disappointed by Paul’s constant discrediting of his contributions to their group.
In the letter, Mr. P wrote, “My dear brother Paul, as I’ve told you several times, I am not competing with you or anyone else. However, it’s disheartening to see you repeatedly discredit my efforts in the group we both built together during your interviews.
“In your recent interviews, you claimed to have written and sung 99% of all PSquare songs, dismissing my efforts, particularly with our song ‘EjeaJo’ featuring TI, which I wrote. You even used YouTube views to discredit me once again.
“You never acknowledged other hits like ‘Get-Squared,’ ‘Bizzy Body,’ ‘Personally,’ ‘Roll It,’ ‘Temptation,’ ‘Alingo,’ ‘More than a Friend,’ ‘Shekini,’ ‘Say Your Love,’ ‘Gimme Dat,’ ‘Senorita,’ ‘IGBEdu,’ and a few others. Were these also failures?

“Whenever I’ve spoken about PSquare in interviews, I always said ‘we’ and ‘us’ because I saw us as a team. But when you speak, it’s always ‘I’ and ‘me,’ even when I’m right beside you. It’s as if I never existed. Neither of us is the most talented artist in the world, but you fail to understand that God granted us this talent and even gave us a second chance after our breakup. Instead, you’ve turned Africa’s most awarded and decorated music group into a laughingstock again.
“You need to understand that fans didn’t fall in love with PSquare because of who sang or danced the most. What made us special was the magic of our combined effort. PSquare was a force because of our uniqueness and unity.
“I’ve always praised you in interviews for your songwriting ability, just as I’ve praised anyone who has written a song for us or for me as Mr. P. But instead of being grateful for my kind words, you seem to find satisfaction in rubbing it in my face, forgetting that we’ve come this far only by God’s grace.”
