It was a family moment for some, but not for all. Nigerian music star Paul Okoye, better known as Rudeboy, recently attended the birthday celebration of his elder brother Jude Okoye’s son. He was joined by his wife, Ifeoma, and their daughter. The event marked the boy’s 4th birthday and was a small but cheerful gathering. Paul shared video clips from the celebration on his Instagram story.
However, what truly caught fans’ attention was the absence of Peter Okoye. Peter, Paul’s twin brother and the other half of the iconic duo Psquare, was noticeably missing. His absence has reignited talks about the long-standing rift between the brothers.

Their strained relationship has been public for years, and recent developments have made things even more tense. Earlier this year, Peter filed a fraud-related complaint with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against Jude. When Jude appeared in court, Paul was there to support him. He even posted remarks online, hinting that Peter was responsible for Jude’s arrest.
Jude was released just last week after spending months in custody. Following his release, Paul made subtle comments online. He appeared to throw shade at Peter, suggesting that all efforts to block Jude’s bail had failed.
This is not the first time Peter was absent from a family event. Earlier in the year, Paul and Ifeoma held a dedication ceremony for their child. Peter was missing once again. Only Jude and his wife were present to support them.
Peter later addressed the situation on social media. He said that instead of joining forces to reclaim their top spot in the music industry, Paul chose to side with Jude. In response, Jude spoke out during a live session. He explained that he hasn’t been involved with Psquare for years. He also said that Peter often drags him into conflicts he wants no part of.
The silence between the brothers now speaks louder than words. Each event reflects deeper family issues. For now, the divide in the Okoye family remains, while fans continue to hope for reconciliation.
