Rudeboy slams the producer, claiming that the song “Winning” was recorded without his permission.

Nigerian musician Paul Okoye, famously known as Rudeboy from the acclaimed duo PSquare, has recently expressed his frustrations regarding significant issues surrounding his latest track, “Winning.” Taking to Instagram, Rudeboy voiced his dissatisfaction over what he describes as unauthorized actions by his producer and management, who he claims re-recorded the song without his consent, despite intentions to include it in his upcoming album slated for release next year.

In his poignant post, Rudeboy lamented, “Song title: WINNING. Written and sang by RUDEBOY… NOW HOW COME? NOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RELEASE ANOTHER VERSION? Just a simple thing: Bring 6 songs let me bring 6 songs… submitted my 6 songs to the so-called management. Why re-singing my own song word for word?” His words highlight a concern prevalent in the music industry—challenges of artistic integrity and the importance of consent in the creative process.

This public disagreement underscores the persistent tensions not only within Rudeboy’s professional relationships but also reflects broader conflicts that have historically marked his dynamic with his twin brother, Peter Okoye. While PSquare enjoyed remarkable success as a duo, a series of creative and business disputes have often strained their partnership. The unfolding conflict over “Winning” illustrates the ongoing struggle for control and direction in their respective music careers.

As Rudeboy navigates this challenging landscape, his frustrations serve as a reminder of the complexities artists face in asserting their creative rights amidst the pressures of the industry. The outcome of this dispute will undoubtedly be closely watched by fans and industry professionals alike, as it may set a precedent for how such issues are addressed in the future.
