Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy and one-half of PSquare, has accused his twin brother, Peter Okoye (Mr. P), and his producer of song theft.
After their recent split, Mr. P released a song titled “Winning,” which Rudeboy claims was originally his.
In an Instagram post, Rudeboy alleged he had written and recorded the song with the same producer, only for it to be re-recorded by Mr. P using the same lyrics. He also expressed frustration about management reusing his submitted tracks.
“Song title: Winning.
“Written and sang by Rudeboy
“Produced by same producer.
“Now how come? Now am I supposed to release another version? Mr Producer, your case is for another day,” he wrote.
“Just a simple thing: Bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I Submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why re-singing my own song? word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year, June.”
In another post on his Instagram story, Rudeboy threatened to release the original version of any songs of his that he was being replicated.
“The days of manipulation are over!!
“And to the management, make I hear any song wey na only me sing, I go release the original version.
“Oloriburuku!
“Music is not that hard!,” he wrote.
