Nigerian music lovers, especially fans of the iconic duo Psquare, have been holding on to the hope that the brothers, Paul and Peter Okoye, might one day reunite. However, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has once again confirmed that Psquare is officially over. In a recent interview, Rudeboy made it clear that he is done with the group and is focused entirely on his solo career.
Psquare, which was formed by twin brothers Paul and Peter Okoye, became one of the most successful and celebrated musical groups in Africa. Their catchy songs, energetic performances, and smooth harmonies won them fans all over the world. However, behind the scenes, tensions brewed between the brothers, leading to their split in 2017.
In his latest statement, Rudeboy expressed his frustration with the way things worked in Psquare. According to him, he carried much of the workload in the group. He felt like he was doing most of the singing, while others were benefiting without contributing equally. Reflecting on his time with Psquare, Rudeboy used a Nigerian proverb to describe the situation, saying: “Those days of ‘monkey dey work, baboon dey chop,’ I’m not doing that anymore. Every time, it was only me singing all the songs.”
This frustration appears to be one of the key reasons behind the split, and it seems that Rudeboy is not looking back. He made it clear that he is done with that chapter of his life and prefers to focus on building his solo career.
For years, fans of Psquare have speculated about the possibility of a reunion between the Okoye brothers. After all, their music brought joy to millions of people, and their separation felt like a big loss to the African music industry. Even after going their separate ways, the brothers have been asked multiple times about the potential of working together again.
But Rudeboy has been consistent in saying that he prefers working alone. With this latest confirmation, it seems highly unlikely that Psquare will ever reunite. Instead, Paul Okoye is determined to continue carving out his path as a solo artist. He has already released several hit singles since going solo, further establishing himself as a strong individual act.
While Psquare’s breakup may be disappointing for fans, Rudeboy is looking forward to what comes next. He has embraced his independence and is dedicated to pushing his music forward as a solo artist. Since the split, Rudeboy has continued to release music that resonates with his fans, proving that he can stand strong on his own.
His decision to break away from Psquare might have been difficult, but it has allowed him the freedom to create music on his terms. He is not bound by the group’s dynamics anymore and is determined to build something fresh and lasting in his career.
The days of Psquare are now firmly in the past, and Rudeboy has made it clear that there is no going back. As one half of the legendary music group, Paul Okoye gave fans countless hits and memorable performances. Now, as a solo artist, he is ready to continue his musical journey, free from the frustrations he once faced in Psquare.
For fans of Psquare, the breakup may have been hard to accept, but Rudeboy’s solo career promises exciting new music and a fresh direction. With this latest confirmation, the chapter of Psquare is truly closed, and Paul Okoye is moving forward with confidence.
