Paul Okoye accuses twin brother Peter of releasing song he wrote without permission

Paul Okoye, aka Rudeboy, one half of the disunited music group P Square, has accused his twin brother Peter Okoye, aka Mr P, of releasing a song he wrote and sang without his permission.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, Paul claimed that the new song released by Peter was one of the songs he (Paul) submitted based on an agreement that required that they both presented six songs each for a music project.

Paul, however, asserts in his post on social media that he brought his own songs, and with the help of his management, his brother (Peter) went and independently released one of his songs.

Rudeboy asserted that the song belonged to him, saying that the producer had stolen it and that the song, ‘Winning,’ was meant to be on his upcoming album.

“Written and sung by Rudeboy. Produced by the 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. A song that was supposed to be on my album next June.” The musician added.
