Singer Paul Okoye, known as Rudeboy, has reacted to claims by his twin brother Peter Okoye that their late mother mistreated Peter’s wife.
In a social media post on Friday, Rudeboy wrote: “Unfortunately, you’re not here to defend yourself. Continue resting, Mum.”
The brief message came after the release of the eighth episode of Peter Okoye’s video series on the family’s long-running feud. In the episode, the singer known as Mr P described a family meeting at his Omole residence involving their late mother Josephine Okoye, brothers Jude, Paul and Tony, and family pastors.
“Everybody was seated… I went to call Lola. When she entered the room, nobody stood up or said, ‘Lola, sit down.’ Nobody even bothered to welcome her properly. Lola and I just sat on the floor,” Mr P said.
He alleged that their mother told his wife: “Young woman, we the Okoye family have decided that you should leave our son alone.”
Mr P further claimed that Jude and Rudeboy opposed Lola’s pregnancy and circulated an anonymous email questioning the paternity of his unborn son. “Nothing that Jude and Paul didn’t do for Lola to take that pregnancy out,” he said.
According to Mr P, their mother later acknowledged the child was his biological son and asked Paul and Jude to apologise, but “the apology never came” before her death. He also rejected suggestions that Lola disliked their mother, saying she cared for her during illness.
Rudeboy did not address the specific claims directly. His management has previously stated that the singer remains focused on his music career and will not engage in public exchanges over family matters.
The dispute between the former P-Square members and their elder brother Jude centres on the group’s breakup, royalties, company management and personal relationships.
