Paul Okoye a.k.a Rudeboy has called on his twin sibling Peter Okoye for them to mend fences after a long period of feuding over business and music rights.
Rudeboy posted on his Instagram: “Even if we don’t do PSquare, can’t we be brothers? Even if we can’t do music, can’t we be brothers?”
Earlier in August, Rudeboy accused Peter of setting him up for an invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on allegations that he diverted millions of dollars in PSquare royalties into a private account.
Before Monday’s post on Instagram Rudeboy, narrated the genesis of the feud during an interview with radio station in Lagos.
“I was accused of saying that he (Peter) was the dancer, while I’m the singer. I know that, whenever we go to the airport, people ask are you a singer or a dancer?
“I didn’t know it was touching him. But I know there was a time we came together and said, ‘don’t allow this thing get to you, you should be proud of what you’re doing. That’s the role you’re playing.’
“We have a song we did with T.I, ‘Eja Jo’. That was when the issue started. Till today, that song is still on three million views 15 years after, because people didn’t hear the PSquare’s voice that they are used to.
“When we came back together, because I didn’t want the issues that happened before, I told my brother to show himself, let us be involved in the creative process together. I told him we should share who carries the tracks equally but still it wasn’t working.
“The new PSquare was peaceful. I needed the past mistakes not to repeat themselves. But then, again, he (Peter) said he’s no longer doing (no longer interested).
“In fact, he told me to my face that he wants to quit. I asked if we could make it public and he refused. But what will happen when I go solo? People will call me a bad person. That’s why I’m speaking up now.”
