Rudeboy Reflects on Music Career, Says He Should Have Retired by Now
Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, recently shared his thoughts on the longevity of his music career, stating that he and his contemporaries should have retired by now. The 45-year-old singer, who gained fame as one half of the P-Square duo alongside his twin brother Peter Okoye, reflected on how the music industry has evolved.
Speaking on the Adesope Live show, Rudeboy noted that, in the past, musicians didn’t stay in the spotlight for as long as they do today. “In the old ways of doing music, by now people like us suppose don retire,” he remarked.
He also touched on the challenges of balancing family life with a demanding music career. “There’s always a time for everything in life. Things will always happen. If you are a celebrity and you think people will always see you like an angel, trust me you’re not going anywhere,” Rudeboy said. He emphasized that every top artist faces criticism and scandals, but how they handle these situations defines their career.
Rudeboy rose to prominence in the 2000s as part of P-Square, a group that initially split in 2016 before reuniting in 2021. However, in August 2024, he confirmed that P-Square had broken up again, following allegations by his brother Peter that funds were being diverted by Rudeboy and their elder brother, Jude Okoye, who also served as their manager.
