Rudeboy’s management has released a statement on the ongoing rift between the Okoye brothers.

The statement described the issue as a family one that must be resolved with dignity, respect, and responsibility,

The statement comes amid the recent escalation of tension between the brothers, which has resulted in new revelations by Mr P.

In a statement released on August 6, 2026, Paul Okoye AKA Rudeboy, reacted to the ongoing issues with his twin brother, Peter Okoye AKA Mr P, who is at loggerheads with Rudeboy and Jude.

Rudeboy acknowledged the public interest in the dispute but insisted that family matters are best handled with “dignity, respect, and responsibility.

“Fire Department Inc., the official management of Rudeboy, is aware of the ongoing public conversations surrounding recent events involving members of the Okoye family.

While we understand the public interest, we believe that personal and family matters are best handled with dignity, respect, and responsibility. We will not be drawn into an exchange of allegations or commentary that distracts from the work, the fans, and the music.

Rudeboy remains fully committed to his craft and deeply grateful for the unwavering support he continues to receive from fans across Nigeria, Africa, and the rest of the world. Their encouragement has been instrumental in the growing success of “Blessed & Alive” featuring Sarkodie, and our focus remains on sharing music that inspires, uplifts, and connects people.

We respectfully ask our supporters, media partners, and the public to allow space for professionalism and mutual respect. We encourage everyone to avoid speculation and to rely on verified information rather than rumors or online commentary.

As management, our responsibility is to support Rudeboy’s artistic journey, protect the integrity of his work, and ensure that his energy remains focused on creating exceptional music and delivering memorable performances for his fans worldwide.

We sincerely thank everyone who has continued to stream, share, and celebrate “Blessed & Alive.” This is only the beginning, and we look forward to announcing more exciting projects, performances, and milestones in the weeks and months ahead.”

The decade-long dispute between the iconic African pop music duo P-Sqaure, comprising Peter Okoye and his twin brother Paul Okoye, and their older brother and former manager Jude Okoye escalated in July 2026.

The latest escalation started on social media when Peter Okoye AKA Mr P, made a statement about not caring if his kids are unable to speak their native Igbo language. Amid the wave of criticism that followed, Paul Okoye AKA Rudeboy, shared a music video with a caption celebrating his Igbo heritage, which many considered a blatant dig at his twin brothers.

The clip would force Mr P to come out publicly with a detailed breakdown of his rift with his twin brother, Rudeboy, and his older brother, Jude. In a series of videos shared on his Instagram account, Mr P went into a detailed breakdown of how his brothers allegedly frustrated him out of P-Square, bullied him, oppressed him and his family, and stole millions of dollars from him and P-Square.

Mr P’s ongoing revelations, which he has shared in a video series that is currently on part 7, have sparked massive public interest, which has forced Rudeboy to release a statement and Jude to make a video explaining his side.

The issues between the brothers have also resulted in a series of litigation, including an EFCC case against Jude and court proceedings against Mr P instituted by Jude.

With the latest escalation and the new facts revealed by Mr P, it’s unlikely that the Okoye brothers will be calling a truce anytime soon.

The Federal Government has rallied support for Miss Nigeria, Miss Tamunosoye Karibi-George, as the country’s official representative to the 75th Miss World pageant scheduled to hold in Vietnam on Sept. 5.

Speaking at a send-forth reception in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, described the global pageant as a platform promoting leadership, purpose and social impact.

“It is my honour to present and send forth Miss Tamunosoye Karibi-George, Miss Nigeria, as the official representative of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Miss World Pageant 2026.

“She will carry our flag onto one of the most visible stages in the world, and she will carry it with grace, intelligence and pride,” she said.

The minister said Nigeria’s participation alongside contestants from about 130 countries offered an opportunity to showcase the nation’s cultural heritage, promote its creative economy and project the resilience of Nigerian women.

“This is cultural diplomacy at its finest, and it sits squarely within the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu,” she said.

Sulaiman-Ibrahim assured that the ministry would provide full institutional support for Karibi-George throughout the competition, covering her preparation, travel arrangements and welfare during the international event.

“From her preparation, to her travel, to her welfare throughout the competition, she will not be left to carry this alone,” she said.

She urged Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to support the country’s representative, saying her participation provided a unique opportunity to tell Nigeria’s story on a global stage.

“Whether she wins or places, she has already achieved something of real significance. She has earned the right to tell Nigeria’s story to the world,” the minister added.

The Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Esuabana Asanye, expressed confidence that Nigeria could reclaim the Miss World crown through sustained commitment and structured preparation.

She said Nigerian women had taken ownership of grooming the country’s representatives through a structured national process, unlike before 1995 when the responsibility rested with government institutions.

Recalling Nigeria’s achievements at the global pageant, Asanye cited Helen Prest-Ajayi, Miss Nigeria 1979, and Agbani Darego, who became the first Black African woman to win the title.

“It has happened before and it will happen again. We are very certain that the crown will come back to Nigeria,” she said.

Responding, Karibi-George expressed gratitude for the confidence reposed in her and pledged to represent Nigeria with dignity while showcasing the country’s rich culture and heritage.

“My heart is full of joy and gratitude. I am honoured to represent the rich culture, heritage and traditions of the Nigerian people,” she said.

She expressed optimism that Nigeria would once again emerge victorious at the competition and return home with the coveted Miss World crown.

“My deepest prayer is that what happened 25 years ago will happen again on Sept. 5,” she said.

The grand finale of the 75th Miss World pageant will be held on Sept. 5 in Nha Trang, Vietnam, with contestants expected from about 130 countries.
