Going solo after P-Square split was easy –Rudeboy

Rudeboy, whose real name is Paul Okoye, a former P-Square member has revealed that going solo was less stressful because he was already producing, writing, and singing most of the group’s music. He also insisted P-Square’s legacy in Nigerian music history will never fade.

In an interview with Luna Lifestyle TV on YouTube, when asked how he understood the transition after doing music solo for a while, and whether it was harder or easier, he answered: “Less stressful.”

He said it was the same him doing everything in the group. “With due respect, it was the same me,” he said. “I was the producer, the writer, the singer. So moving out of the group, it’s still the same thing.”

Rudeboy acknowledged that everyone in the group had a part to play, but said that when it came to creating the music, no one could question him because he had more creative control.

In the same interview, he said that in Nigerian music, P-Square can never be forgotten. He noted that their albums, particularly Get Squared and Game Over, are still doing numbers.

P-Square is made up of twin brothers Paul and Peter Okoye, known as Rudeboy and Mr P. The duo became one of Nigeria’s most successful groups, with songs including ‘Personally,’ ‘Do Me,’ ‘Chop My Money’, and ‘Beautiful Onyinye’.

The brothers first split in 2017 following disagreements involving management and other issues. Their partnership broke down again in 2024, with Paul confirming that the group had separated and that he was focusing on his solo career as Rudeboy, according to QED. Peter has also pursued a solo career as Mr P.
