Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, one-half of the former P-Square music duo, has accused his twin brother, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, of taking advantage of online controversies to tarnish his image.
Eelive.ng reported that the disagreement followed Peter’s recent social media comment about the relevance of Nigerian languages, which attracted criticism from many users.
As the backlash grew, Rudeboy distanced himself from the remarks in a series of posts, stressing that he remained proud of his culture, native roots and language.
Reacting to his brother’s comments, Peter alleged that Rudeboy had once again used the situation as an opportunity to discredit him.
Peter said: “But again, bro, you’re at it again, using this moment as another opportunity to pull me down. Just like I wrote in my open letter two years ago, doing everything possible to make people hate me will never work.”
Peter admitted that he understood why many people disagreed with his original statement but insisted that his brother’s reaction crossed the line.

The singer further expressed disappointment, accusing Rudeboy of repeatedly joining public criticism against him rather than standing by him.
He added: “I don’t know why you look for every opportunity to make derisive comments or jump on the bandwagon whenever I am being attacked.”
