Peter Okoye Says Rudeboy Exploits Language Row to Damage His Reputation

Peter Okoye, one half of the defunct Afrobeats duo P-Square, accused his twin brother Rudeboy of repeatedly joining public criticism to undermine him. The accusation came after Peter faced backlash for a social media comment asking "who Naija language help?" which many interpreted as dismissing Nigerian languages. Rudeboy responded on X (formerly Twitter) calling himself a "nobody" and emphasizing the importance of culture, native language and identity. Peter replied that Rudeboy was using the moment as another opportunity to pull him down, twisting his words and employing petty tactics to damage his reputation, despite accepting the criticism he received. He referenced an open letter from two years ago in which he warned that efforts to make people hate him would fail. The exchange highlights the ongoing public feud between the twins, which has played out intermittently since their professional split. For fans and observers of Nigerian music, the feud underscores how personal disputes can amplify controversies and affect public perception of artists. How do you think public figures should handle sibling rivalry when it plays out in the spotlight, and does such drama ultimately help or hurt their artistic legacies?
